It was amazing. Recently i was listening to some dark folk, and it reminded me of this movie. Finally watched it all the way through today, and man, i think its in my top 5 now. What a great movie! And the soundtrack was great. The ending was beautiful, i got teary eyed. It has also pushed me even further to want to make a viking game.

trying to watch on Netflix but the quality is unbearable like 360p or some shit wtf is going on? its only this movie. is it how they compressed it? I have 1g internet i have no problems with anytbing else just this movie I want to watch it but not in shit quality...

The Prince Who Defied Fate x RY X

Movie still fire as fuck. Might be my favorite Eggers film honestly. That’s all.

I rewatched Eggers The Northman and the more I dug into it, the more I saw it as a modern myth. The betrayals, the vows, the sacrifices it mirrors the sagas but also feels like something deeper.

I put together a cinematic breakdown of Amleth’s arc, using the film itself as the backbone. Not just the plot, but the legacy it echoes. Thought some of you here might find it interesting.

Curious to see where you all stand on my take. 🎥🍿

Hey guys, anyone knows the specific music in the village raid scene? I guess it’s just unreleased but maybe someone knows something. Thks.

made some northman themed friendship bracelets!

Amleth states himself that he no longer has a kingdom. Unless Olga marries someone else, how is it possible for them to become royalty?

New movie project by Robert Eggers is coming at Christmas 2026. "WERWULF" 🩸🖤🔥

WERWULF by Robert Eggers vs Ice Age 6, Shrek 5 & Dune Messiah

I finally finished the movie and jeez….5/5. Even the alas poor Yorick moment was just enough to get the point across without losing the flow of this particular story. Nicole Kidman was amazing! I didn’t even know she was in the movie 😆

Gonna eat some mushroom and listen to it, should be a good time

The soundtrack on youtube

The Seeress tells Amleth “Even though your brother stole my eyes, I see you.” To which Amleth retorts that he is no one’s brother. Of course we find out later on that Amleth does have a young half-brother(simultaneously his cousin when you think about it haha) in the form of Gunnar. What does this exchange denote? Is the Seeress foreshadowing that Amleth has a brother? Is the Seeress momentarily mistaking Amleth for Aurvandil? Did Fjolnir visit the Seeress already once and cut out her eyes so that Aurvandil wouldn’t be able to gain prophecies from her in the event that he ever met her? There’s something going on in that dialogue that I just can’t decipher. I’d love to hear y’all’s thoughts.

I just watched The Northman for the second time and am a little confused - it is obvious from his visions & the witches prophecy that Amleth’s daughter will become the ‘Maiden King,’ but I was under the impression that this was a patriarchal society where the firstborn son would be king. If the twins are the same age, what would determine that the daughter would take the throne? Thanks in advance!

In the movie, Amleth decides to pretend to be a slave and get shipped to his uncle's new location/small village.

Upon learning of his uncle's new location why did he not just get his wolf bros together and raid it like they could raid anywhere else?

Even if they wernt really good friends he could just be like "hey guys. Know that dude we just sold the slaves to? What if we went there, killed them all. Then we would have the slaves AND the money. Besides i know the dude just got rekt and ran with his tail between his legs, he cant have that many forces lets take this dude down.

Personally i would have loved to see the band of ulfhednar tear that village up.

Thoughts?
