The Northman (2022) Film Review

Did I like it? You bet I bloody did! My favorite film of the year
so far, a whopping 9.5/10 and positions Roger Eggers (The Witch,
The Lighthouse) as arguably the greatest current director in the
world. The tale of Amleth (Hamlet), the Danish prince, with a
father murdered by his uncle is arguably the most famous Nordic
tale of all, due to a certain British retelling of the story. But
everything shines here, the cast, the direction, the screenplay,
the music and the cinematography are all top notch - it's even
riveting. The William Shakespeare/Lord of the Rings crossover you
never knew you needed and far more the art-house Eggers than I'd
thought possible.
