Topic #1: The Northman Movie Review, Spoilercast, Discussion

The Northman is a 2022 epic historical action drama film directed by Robert Eggers, and co-written by Eggers and Sjón. Based on the legend of Amleth,[6] the film stars Alexander Skarsgård (who also co-produced), Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ethan Hawke, Björk, and Willem Dafoe.

Skarsgård had wanted to make a Viking film for a while, 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 on a net production budget of $70–90 million.

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 grossed over $23 million worldwide and received critical acclaim, with particular praise aimed at its direction, production values, and the performances of the cast._Wikipedia
