    Storyline

    • Trivia
      After shooting wrapped, several of the actors received gifts from the set. Nicole Kidman received a sword. Willem Dafoe received a real-life longship. Björk received three horses. Alexander Skarsgård received the blood-stained thong he wore for a week while shooting the final scene of the film, in a frame.
    • Goofs
      The 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 credits
      The film title and the intertitles appear in ancient Norse runes.

    Exactly what it needs to be
    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.
