The Northman [4K Ultra HD] [2022] [Blu-ray] [Region Free]

Product Information

The beauty of the Icelandic countryside juxtaposes nicely against the brutality and savagery of the people who inhabit it. Speaking of brutality. Consider yourself forewarned. Pretty much every living thing that appears on the screen will be slaughtered at one time or another – humans and animals alike. You’ll want to cover your eyes more than once. It ain’t pretty, but it is certainly real. From acclaimed director Robert Eggers, The Northman is an epic revenge thriller that explores how far a Viking prince will go to seek justice for his murdered father. When Amleth learns that his uncle has been dethroned and now takes up residence in Iceland, Amleth stows away on a slave ship bound for Iceland with eyes set on avenging his father’s death. Along the journey, Amleth befriends a fellow slave named Olga ( Anya Taylor-Joy , The Queen’s Gambit), who holds an interesting connection to the supernatural. The Northman is no mere revenge tale: it is a tragedy, an exploration of the bond between fathers and sons, and a look into the Norse culture’s connection to the supernatural. Eggers blurs the line between reality and the surreal, which at times obstructs the narrative. Amleth’s fate is pre-determined, it seems, with the gods directing his path. However, if you’re expecting a more visceral tale, along the lines of Conan, Braveheart, or even Gladiator, where the quest for vengeance propels the story, you’ll be disappointed. The Northman is no less brutal, but far more introspective than those films. It isn’t trying to be a crowd-pleaser: it tells its story, regardless of the fact that American audiences will find most of the Viking perspective strange. Despite that, it’s also the main reason why the film overall is a fascinating watch.

A NORSE LANDSCAPE – We explore the spectacular shooting locations of The Northman and discuss how filmmakers were able to overcome the unique challenges of shooting the film in Northern Ireland. Though The Northman is not a horror movie, there is plenty of gore and there are horror beats throughout its narrative that will likely provide some cross-appeal to those genre fans. But it’s the brutally honest depiction, without judgment, of the Vikings that further sets Eggers’ film apart from others in the genre. KNATTLEIKR GAME - "Learn all about this little-known game, how the scene was filmed, and why it's an essential moment for Amleth." The film stars Alexander Skarsgård as Amleth, a Viking prince out for revenge against his uncle Fjölnir (Claes Bang, The Affair). After being away for decades, Amleth disguises himself as a slave to get close to Fjölnir. He falls in love with another slave, Olga (Anya Taylor-Joy), and their relationship is tested as Amleth’s plan to exact revenge escalates. He also realizes the life he lost was not the one he thought he had.With shades of Beowulf and Braveheart in its DNA, The Northman is a bloody revenge story. Plain and simple. A loosely retold Hamlet, with Alexander Skarsgård as Amleth a Viking prince robbed of his heir to the kingdom as a young boy when his uncle Fjölnir ( Claes Bong, The Girl in the Spider's Web) kills Amleth’s father, King Aurvandil ( Ethan Hawke), and kidnaps his mother ( Nicole Kidman). Set on avenging his father’s death, Amleth sets out on an epic quest across the North Atlantic in search of those responsible for his father’s death. A film with stunning visuals like The Northman needs a great transfer, and Universal doesn’t disappoint. Despite most of the film featuring a dark, desaturated image, the detail is astonishing at times, thanks to a high bitrate. A subpar transfer betrays itself in dark scenes, where shadow and night turn into a pixelated, disappointing blotch. Not so here: every scene, thanks to its Dolby Vision mastering, shows every last bit of detail on your screen. It’s one of the best transfers I’ve seen this year – it’s absolutely superb. Move over Batman. Step aside, Spider-Man. There's a new action epic around and it's not steeped in superhero mythos or quantum tunnels. Instead, it takes place in a very real place, long ago when Vikings ruled the lands - The Northman. Robert Eggers sits in the director's chair for the third time, making his passion piece of cinema that has his previous outings of The VVitch and The Lighthouselooking like Pixar family movies. Through blood-soaked battles and a hint of the supernatural, this tale of vengeance is the adult action thriller everyone has been clamoring for. Amleth’s Journey To Manhood” Featurette.
