Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the scene in which the Úlfhéðnar attack the Slavic town, Amleth catches a spear in midair and throws it back at the Slavs in one movement. This is taken from the medieval Icelandic story of Njáls saga in which Audolf throws a spear at the Viking hero Gunnar, but Gunnar catches it in midair and throws it straight through Audolf and his shield.
- GoofsThe runic inscription of "Amleth's Saga" is written incorrectly in the movie version as opposed to the trailer of The Northman where it is correct. The title shown in the trailer written with runes can be translated to "amluthasaka" or amlóða saga, amleth's saga.
However at the end of the actual movie the title is missing the rune of "a" from its word saga, making it read akin to "Amleth's sga".
- Quotes
Young Amleth: I will avenge you, Father! I will save you, Mother! I will kill you, Fjölnir!
- Crazy creditsThe film title and the intertitles appear in ancient Norse runes.

Featured review
It was finally time, Robert Eggers "The Northman" one of my if not the most anticipated movie of 2022 for me.
I was i little bit worried that this movie wouldn't feel like a Robert Eggers movie now that there was some big companies involved in this, but boy was i wrong. The Northman feels just like a Eggers movie but with a bigger budget, and wow what a fantastic movie this was. A dark,brutal and Violent vikings tale with some incredibly beautiful shots and a Swedish viking in the lead role.
The Northman feelt like a crossover betweeen The Green Knight and Gladiator and it might already be one of the best movies of the year.
