On its face, The Northman is stark and naked, which is perfect in relation to the film itself and the story it intends to tell. The deeper aspects are akin to various elements found in the works of Shakespeare; family, betrayal, the inherent natural duty of a man and that of a woman and so on. It is a brutal film, honest and straight forward, leaving any fan of antiquated literature feeling satisfied. Wonderfully shot with a plethora of fresh and unique photography as well as beautiful lighting and color palette elements.
