The Northman is a 2022 epic historical fiction film directed by Robert Eggers, who co-wrote the screenplay with Sjón. Based on the legend of Amleth, the film stars Alexander Skarsgård (who also produced), Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ethan Hawke, Björk, and Willem Dafoe. The plot follows Amleth, a Viking prince who sets out on a quest to avenge the murder of his father.

Skarsgård had wanted to make a Viking film for several years, and Eggers decided to make the film his third project after the pair met to discuss possible collaborations. Much of the cast joined in October 2019, and filming took place from August to December 2020 in locations throughout Ireland.

The Northman had its world premiere in Stockholm at Rigoletto Cinema on March 28, 2022. It began theatrical release in some countries on April 13, 2022, and was released theatrically in the United States on April 22. The film has received critical acclaim, with particular praise aimed at its direction, production values, and the performances of the cast. It has grossed $41.6 million worldwide against a $70–90 million production budget.

Plot

In AD 895, King Aurvandill War-Raven returns to his kingdom on the island of Hrafnsey after his overseas conquests, and is reunited with his wife, Queen Gudrún, and his son and heir, Prince Amleth. To prepare Amleth to one day be king, the two participate in a spiritual ceremony overseen by Aurvandill's jester, Heimir. The next morning, masked warriors led by Aurvandill's brother Fjölnir ambush and murder the king. After seeing his village massacred and his mother taken away screaming by his uncle, Amleth flees by boat swearing to avenge his father, save his mother and kill Fjölnir.

Amleth is found by a band of Vikings and raised among them as a berserker. Years later, after an attack in the land of the Rus, Amleth encounters a Seeress in the temple of Svetovit; the Seeress predicts that Amleth will soon take revenge on Fjölnir, and that his path is intertwined with a Maiden-King. Amleth finds out that Fjölnir was overthrown by Harald of Norway and lives in exile in Iceland. Posing as a slave, Amleth sneaks aboard a ship headed to Iceland. On the ship, he encounters a Slavic slave named Olga, who claims to be a sorceress. Upon arrival, Amleth and the rest of the slaves are taken to Fjölnir's farm, where it is revealed that Gudrún, now Fjölnir's wife, has borne him a son, Gunnar.

One night, Amleth flees the farm and encounters a He-Witch, who facilitates a spiritual dialogue between Amleth and the late Heimir, revealed to have been murdered by Fjölnir. He then tells Amleth about Draugr, a magical sword that can only be drawn at night or at the Gates of Hel. Amleth enters a mound and obtains the blade after fighting the undead Mound Dweller. The next day, Amleth is selected to compete in a game of knattleikr against another farm. The game turns violent and Gunnar is almost killed after running into the game, but Amleth saves him. As a reward, Fjölnir's eldest and adult son, Thorir allows Amleth to claim Olga as his wife.

During the evening celebrations, Amleth and Olga make love; they promise to work together to overcome Fjölnir and his men. Over the following nights, Amleth kills several of Fjölnir's men, and Olga mixes the men's food with psychedelic mushrooms. The ensuing chaos allows Amleth to enter Fjölnir's house. He meets his mother, Gudrún, who reveals that she was originally taken into slavery, and that Amleth's conception was the result of rape. She tries to seduce Amleth while also revealing that she begged Fjölnir to kill Aurvandill and Amleth, and that she prefers Fjölnir and her new son. An enraged Amleth leaves, kills Thorir in his sleep, and steals his heart.

After the discovery of Thorir's body, Gudrún reveals Amleth's true identity to Fjölnir. Fjölnir threatens to kill Olga for assisting Amleth, but Amleth reveals himself and offers to trade Olga's life for Thorir's heart. After a severe beating, Amleth is released from his restraints by a flock of ravens. Olga rescues Amleth from the farm and the two escape, planning to go to Amleth's relatives in Orkney. Departing Iceland by boat, Amleth has a vision and discovers that she is pregnant with twins, one of whom will become the Maiden-King prophesied by the Seeress. Fearing that his children will never be safe, Amleth decides to finally kill his uncle and jumps overboard, despite Olga's pleas for him to remain with her.

Back at the farm, Amleth frees the slaves and kills most of Fjölnir's men. While searching for Fjölnir, Amleth is attacked by Gudrún and kills her. Gunnar also attacks Amleth, stabbing him repeatedly in the back before Amleth accidentally kills him. Fjölnir, discovering his wife and son dead, tells Amleth to meet him at the Gates of Hel—the volcano Hekla—to resolve the conflict via holmgang. At the volcano, Amleth and Fjölnir engage in a fierce swordfight; Fjölnir is decapitated, but Amleth is fatally wounded. As Amleth lies dying, he has a future vision of Olga embracing their twin children, before a valkyrie appears to carry him to Valhalla.

Production

Development

Alexander Skarsgård has been fascinated with Viking history and mythology since childhood, and has long sought a Viking-themed project with the help of producer Lars Knudsen.[7] In 2011, Skarsgård was attached to a Warner Bros. epic with the working title The Vanguard, which ultimately did not materialize.[8] Robert Eggers became interested in making a Viking film following a 2016 trip to Iceland with his wife Alexandra Shaker, who is a fan of Old Norse sagas.[3] During the trip Eggers met Björk, who in turn introduced Eggers to Sjón.[9] In 2017, Skarsgård met Eggers to discuss future projects, but the discussion quickly turned to a Viking Age‐themed film.[7][10][11] Eggers subsequently reached out to Sjón and the two began researching and writing the screenplay.[9]

The story of The Northman was based primarily on the legend of Amleth as written by Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus, known as the direct inspiration for William Shakespeare's Hamlet.[12][13] Eggers cited the Poetic Edda, the Prose Edda, Egil's Saga, Grettir's Saga, the Eyrbyggja saga and the Saga of Hrolfr Kraki as additional influences.[12] Archaeologist Neil Price at Uppsala University, folklorist Terry Gunnell at the University of Iceland and Viking historian Jóhanna Katrín Friðriksdóttir served as historical consultants on the film.[14][3] Eggers also acknowledged Conan the Barbarian as a source of inspiration.[12]

In October 2019, it was announced that Eggers would direct an epic Viking revenge saga, which he would also co-write with Sjón. Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Anya Taylor-Joy, Bill Skarsgård (Alexander's brother), and Willem Dafoe were in talks to join the film.[15] They would all be confirmed that December, along with the addition of Claes Bang to the cast.[16] The film was officially in preparation in December 2019, and would begin filming in Belfast in 2020.[17][18] In August 2020, Björk, along with her daughter Ísadóra "Doa" Barney,[19] Kate Dickie and Ethan Hawke joined the cast of the film.[20][21][22] In September 2020, Bill Skarsgård announced he had dropped out of the film due to scheduling conflicts and was replaced with Gustav Lindh.[23]

Filming

Principal photography was to begin in March 2020,[24] but it was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[25] Filming started in August 2020,[26] and wrapped early in December 2020, lasting 87 days.[27] Most of the filming took place in Northern Ireland. King Aurvandill's village was constructed at Torr Head on the coast of County Antrim, while Fjölnir's farm was built at Knockdhu near Larne. The scenes in the Land of the Rus were filmed at Portglenone, the Clandeboye Estate, Shane's Castle and on the River Bann. The Hightown quarry outside Belfast stood for the volcano Hekla, where the film's climatic fight takes place.[28] Brief sequences were filmed in Iceland at the Svínafellsjökull glacier and the town of Akureyri.[29]

Post-production

The film cost between $70–90 million to produce, which was higher than its original $65 million budget. Eggers wanted a more artsy and slow-paced film, while the studio demanded a more entertaining and accessible story. After some test screenings, Eggers and his editor, Louise Ford, managed to find the balance, and the latest cut was approved on November 3, 2021.[3][2]

Release

The Northman was originally scheduled to be released on April 8, 2022,[30] but was later pushed back to April 22, 2022. It was distributed by Focus Features in United States and by Universal Pictures internationally.[31] Special screenings were held in several cities worldwide ahead of the theatrical release; in Stockholm at Rigoletto Cinema on March 28,[32] in Hamburg at Astor Film Lounge on March 30,[33] in Rome at Cinema Troisi on April 1,[34] in London at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square on April 5,[35] in Belfast at Cineworld on April 6,[36] and in Los Angeles at TCL Chinese Theatre on April 18.[37] Wide releases began early in some countries; on April 13 in Denmark, Norway and Sweden,[5] on April 14 in Czech Republic, Ecuador, Iceland, Mexico, Netherlands, Slovakia, Slovenia and Uruguay,[5] and on April 15 in the United Kingdom and Lithuania.[5]

The film's advertising campaign briefly attracted notoriety due to a series of posters commissioned for the New York subway system that neglected to include the film's title.[38] Within a day of the subject going viral on Twitter, the posters were removed.[39]

Reception

Box office

As of May 1, 2022, The Northman has grossed $22.8 million in the United States and Canada, and $18.8 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $41.6 million.[4][5] According to Variety, the film needs to gross around $200 million in order to cover its production and marketing costs and break-even.[40]

In the U.S. and Canada, The Northman was released alongside The Bad Guys and The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, and was projected to gross $8–15 million from 3,223 theaters in its opening weekend.[2][41][42] It made $5 million on its first day, including $1.4 million from Thursday night previews. The film went on to debut to $12.3 million in its opening weekend, finishing fourth at the box office.[43] Deadline Hollywood noted that The Northman and The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent were targeting the same demographic, which impacted their debuts. Men made up 68% of the audience during its opening, with those in the age range of 18–34 comprising 61% of ticket sales. The ethnic breakdown of the audience showed that 56% were Caucasian, 21% Hispanic and Latino Americans, 10% African American, and 13% Asian or other.[44]

Outside of the U.S. and Canada, the film earned $3.4 million from 15 international markets in its opening weekend.[45] It made $6.3 million in its second weekend after expanding to 41 markets.[46]

Critical response

The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 89% based on 297 reviews, with an average rating of 7.7/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "A bloody revenge epic and breathtaking visual marvel, The Northman finds filmmaker Robert Eggers expanding his scope without sacrificing any of his signature style".[47] Metacritic assigned the film a weighted average score of 82 out of 100 based on 60 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[48] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale, while those at PostTrak gave it a 75% positive score (with an average 3.5 out of 5 stars), with 56% saying they would definitely recommend it.[44]

The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw gave a 5 out of 5 score, praising the film's nihilistic tone and performances by the cast, stating that "It's entirely outrageous, with some epic visions of the flaring cosmos. I couldn't look away".[49] Digital Spy's Gabriella Geisinger gave a 5 out of 5 score and praised Eggers's visionary direction and the film's grisly and surreal atmosphere, claiming that "The world created in The Northman is so totally absorbing".[50] MovieZine's Alexander Kardelo gave the film a 4 out of 5 score and particularly praised Skarsgård's performance and Eggers' direction.[51] IndieWire's David Ehrlich called the film "primal, sinewy, gnarly-as-fuck", "grab-you-by-the-throat intense", and "never dull".[52] Games Radar’s Matt Maytum commented that the film is a "truly distinctive, unmissable epic" in his review, ultimately giving it a 5 out of 5 stars.[53] The Independent's Clarrise Loughrey gave a 5 out of 5 stars and stated in her review that the film was a "beautiful risk".[54] RogerEbert.com's Robert Daniels gave a 3 out of 4 score and praised the direction, cinematography, and cast performances, but found that the film "often stumbles when it searches for profundity".[55] The Austin Chronicle's Richard Whittaker called the film an "extraordinary feat of cinema", commending the direction.[56] The New York Times's A.O. Scott praised the world-building and cinematography, writing "Eggers's accomplishment lies in his fastidious, fanatical rendering of that world, down to its bed linens and cooking utensils".[57] The New Yorker's Richard Brody found that the film "offers no synesthesia, no evocation of any sense beside vision" and criticized Eggers's direction, ultimately concluding: "The Northman merely serves up its raw material both half-baked and overcooked".[58] Rolling Stone's K. Austin Collins claimed that "It’s an oft-stunning visual feast", and it's also a good illustration of how even the most inspiring intentions can't necessarily make a tale more interesting.[59]
