Valhalla Rising (2009)
VALHALLA RISING - once in lifetime experience brutal depiction of human triumph and failure
This is a lifetime experience..Where the Scandinavian pagans are fighting against power hunting Christians...But within this shell, arrays of philosophy have been stripped in layers...Rather segments...Silently and brutally...Reminiscent of Lars Von Trier's works...the film portrayed the eternal cycle where the followed becomes the follower..the prisoner of hatred becomes rescuer of god
and how godliness turns into godlessness..and glory into gory epiphany of religion
how existence becomes a machinery of resistance and power becomes nothing but a sacrifice to nature..this film speaks for human failure..where the illusion of triumph is axed with forms of formlessness..the never-yielding rock of freedom becomes the greatest downfall of mankind..and the surreal ammunition of future..the myth of Sysiphus..and all these mounting philosophies are capped with profound music..as good as Lushmord..a memorable watch..the director's early work BRONSON was also as classic as Kubrick's A Clockwork Ornage and Mads Mikelssen is superb as usual
