The film premiered in 2019 and reached the top 10 of the most popular. I discovered everything about this production.
The northern man (The Northman) It is not only a story of revenge in Viking times, but also one of the most ambitious productions of recent cinema. Directed by Robert Eggersrecognized by its unique visual style in films such as “The Witch and the Lighthouse”, this blockbuster led to the limit the historical recreation of Nordic culture. With a budget close to 90 million dollars And the filming was made in Northern Ireland and Iceland.
The cast is headed by Alexander Skarsgårdwho in addition to starring the film participated as a producer and prepared physically for years to give life to Amleth, a Viking warrior marked by the tragedy. With an almost obsessive level of detail, “the north man” not only tells a story of betrayal and revenge, but is also an immersive experience in the Viking world.
