The gates of cinematic Valhalla are actually open — assuming you’ve Peacock.
That’s the place The Northman, Robert Eggers’ newest historic fantasy movie, is on streaming. The premise is sort of a Viking’s model of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, with Alexander Skarsgard starring as a prince whose father is murdered by his uncle (Claes Bang). Years later, Skarsgard returns to his homeland, swearing revenge towards his scheming relative, who has now married his mom, performed by Nicole Kidman.
Eggers is the man who made the unimaginable colonial horror movie The Witch in 2015, after which directed The Lighthouse with Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson a number of years in the past. The Northman is his largest manufacturing up to now — it reportedly value some $70 million — and it appears sensational, with attractive places, unimaginable (and extremely violent) motion scenes, and detailed units and costumes that seem like they could possibly be from some thousand-year-old civilization.
The movie was not a success in theaters, incomes simply $67 million worldwide. However should you missed it — and apparently plenty of you probably did judging from these grosses — now you’ve a second probability on Peacock. Right here is the movie’s trailer:
Eggers’ films have this unimaginable authenticity, although all of them even have these creepy and surreal supernatural components. They at all times make me really feel like I’m watching some sort of fantasy or nightmare from somebody who lived in no matter interval they’re set in. And The Northman completely continues in that custom, with all these stunning recreations of Viking villages mixing with photos of their desires and concepts concerning the afterlife.
Right here is the movie’s official synopsis:
From visionary director Robert Eggers comes THE NORTHMAN, an action-filled epic that follows a younger Viking prince on his quest to avenge his father’s homicide. With an all-star forged that features Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Anya Taylor-Pleasure, Ethan Hawke, Björk, and Willem Dafoe.
The Northman is streaming now on Peacock.
