→ Vengeance is a dish served cold, muddy and brutal in Robert Eggers’s latest, but no one should really be shocked by that given that this is a Viking saga drawn from myth by the man behind The Witch and The Lighthouse.
Sticking with period drama, the director), who after seeing his pops (Ethan Hawke’s King Aurvandil War-Raven) slaughtered and his mother Queen Gudrún (Nicole Kidman) spirited away by his uncle (Claes Bang’s calculating Fjölnir), swears bloody vengeance. Cut to 20 years later and Amleth is Alexander Skarsgård’s ripped warrior, slathered in the blood of his enemies, and plotting a way to get inside Fjölnir’s camp to make it happen.
