Director Robert Eggers‘ third feature film “The Northman” releases on April 22 and we’re all dying to see his remake of the classic 1922 silent vampire film “Nosferatu” finally come together after multiple production hiccups. His recent comments to The Guardian suggest that the horror project stumbled after Harry Styles had to back out of the Thomas Hutter role opposite Eggers’ longtime muse Anya Taylor-Joy (“The Witch“).

Revenge is a dish best served cold, and it doesn’t get any colder, literally or figuratively, than the bitter portion ladled up in Robert Eggers’ merciless yarn of medieval vengeance, The Northman. This seriously nasty and violent tale comes across as an intense labor of love on the part of the American director and his Icelandic co-writer, the poet Sjón; there’s scarcely a moment of softness, sentiment or relaxation here, just fierce and ferocious determination to fight and prevail in an unstintingly harsh environment. For the most part it’s an enthralling immersion in a forbidding time and place, enhanced by an immoderately attractive cast and saddled only by a dramatic sameness that settles in after a while and gradually diminishes the film’s impact.

Director Robert Eggers returns with his third feature film, “The Northman,” a Viking epic that places the filmmaker in a more accessible genre. The visually striking revenge flick allows for more action sequences and a larger scale/budget than he’s used to.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticFields glow kryptonite-green against volcanic black soil, while not-so-distant mountains smoke and spew hot red lava above the heads of hardy sheep. Nowhere else on earth looks like Iceland, which is why so many productions over the past decade — from “Interstellar” and “Oblivion” to “Game of Thrones” and “Thor” — have used its peerless primordial terrain to represent alternate dimensions and far-off planets.Iceland plays itself in Robert Eggers’ “The Northman,” a brutal tale of 10th-century Viking revenge that makes evocative use of far more than just the scenery to be found in this stunning Nordic outpost.

As floridly written and meticulously etched as they are, at their core the ornate period works of director Robert Eggers summon an elemental human conundrum: the constant clash between free will and the unexplainable in the construction of one’s fate. If there are forces beyond our control meddling in our mortal existences, must we surrender or can we fight back? In 2015’s “The Witch,” a young woman gives in to the preternatural entities that haunt her in part to go against a religious microcosm that demands her submissiveness.

Oscar-winner Nicolas Cage (“Leaving Las Vegas“) is having an overdue career resurgence thanks to recent films such as the psychedelic revenge picture “Mandy” and the performance-focused “Pig.” The actor has previously revealed that he’s out of debt and ready to make a big Hollywood return.
