The film stars Emmy and Golden Globe-winner Alexander Skarsgård ( Big Little Lies), Golden Globe winner Anya Taylor-Joy ( The Queen’s Gambit), Oscar, Emmy, and Golden Globe winner Nicole Kidman ( The Hours), Oscar nominees Ethan Hawke ( The Good Lord Bird), Willem Dafoe ( At Eternity’s Gate), Claes Bang ( The Square), and Grammy/Oscar-nominated Icelandic singer-songwriter Björk ( Dancer in the Dark). Move over Batman. Step aside, Spider-Man. There's a new action epic around and it's not steeped in superhero mythos or quantum tunnels. Instead, it takes place in a very real place, long ago when Vikings ruled the lands - The Northman. Robert Eggers sits in the director's chair for the third time, making his passion piece of cinema that has his previous outings of The VVitch and The Lighthouselooking like Pixar family movies. Through blood-soaked battles and a hint of the supernatural, this tale of vengeance is the adult action thriller everyone has been clamoring for. The following special features are available on Digital, 4K UHD, and Blu-ray. They are not available on the DVD. The film stars Alexander Skarsgård as Amleth, a Viking prince out for revenge against his uncle Fjölnir (Claes Bang, The Affair). After being away for decades, Amleth disguises himself as a slave to get close to Fjölnir. He falls in love with another slave, Olga (Anya Taylor-Joy), and their relationship is tested as Amleth’s plan to exact revenge escalates. He also realizes the life he lost was not the one he thought he had. If you know Robert Eggers and his body of work, then you don’t need me to build up your expectations for The Northman. If you’re unfamiliar, just know that Eggers creates fantastic, slow-burn period pieces with stunning visuals. In The Lighthouse, he explored the human psyche driven to the breaking point by isolation. In The Witch, he crafted a new breed of psychological horror film, setting the devil himself loose on a Puritan family in the 1600s. For The Northman, Eggers explores the Viking legend that inspired Hamlet with a fair dose of Norse spirituality, which is responsible for many of the film’s most striking visuals. It also boasts an impressive cast, led by Alexander Skarsgård ( True Blood), and it is quite unlike any movie you’ll see this year.

In addition to his brilliant attention to detail when bringing to life the physical world of 10th Century Scandinavia, Eggers also clearly pays close attention to the inner workings of the Viking mind: their beliefs, mythology, and ritual life. Coming from the twisted mind behind such epic atmospheric pressure cookers as The Witch and The Lighthouse, the fact that he focuses on the “who” and “how” with little emphasis on the “why” should certainly come as no surprise. The Northman finds its biggest success in its depiction of Viking rituals, their spiritual beliefs, and how closely knit the people were to nature. Something we’ve not really seen in a Viking movie.

AN AGELESS EPIC - "An in-depth look at how filmmakers, cast, and crew immersed themselves in Norse history and mythology in an effort to make THE NORTHMAN the most accurate Viking epic ever filmed." Amleth's Journey To Manhood (HD, 4 Mins.) - The ritual of the manhood scene is discussed by the cast and crew with some on-set footage. THE FACES OF VIKINGS – The cast of The Northman, alongside director Robert Eggers, discuss the depth of the characters and their experiences working together. Knattleikr Game” Featurette. The little-known Norse game, which is featured in a pivotal scene, is explored. Running Time: 2:42 The beauty of the Icelandic countryside juxtaposes nicely against the brutality and savagery of the people who inhabit it. Speaking of brutality. Consider yourself forewarned. Pretty much every living thing that appears on the screen will be slaughtered at one time or another – humans and animals alike. You’ll want to cover your eyes more than once. It ain’t pretty, but it is certainly real.KNATTLEIKR GAME - "Learn all about this little-known game, how the scene was filmed, and why it's an essential moment for Amleth." The digital, 4K UHD, and Blu-ray version of the film will also come with a litany of Collector’s Edition content as well, including: Violently unforgiving, and relentlessly dark, Robert "The VVitch" Eggers' small scale revenger enjoys bursts of well-staged Berserker brutality, and a LOT of raging, mostly coming from the beast that ate Alexander Skarsgård. A Norse Landscape” Featurette. Most of The Northman was filmed in Northern Ireland, and this featurette explores the challenges the production endured during their location shooting. Running Time: 4:43 A film with stunning visuals like The Northman needs a great transfer, and Universal doesn’t disappoint. Despite most of the film featuring a dark, desaturated image, the detail is astonishing at times, thanks to a high bitrate. A subpar transfer betrays itself in dark scenes, where shadow and night turn into a pixelated, disappointing blotch. Not so here: every scene, thanks to its Dolby Vision mastering, shows every last bit of detail on your screen. It’s one of the best transfers I’ve seen this year – it’s absolutely superb.

Shooting the Raid” Featurette. A behind-the-scenes look at how multiple production departments worked together to pull off the fantastic “raid” sequence. Running Time: 4:10 I think that was something, when I first read the script, that I was really excited about because you know when you're doing a Robert Eggers movie that if it says 'they walk across you know, volcanoes and glaciers' and whatever, we will be walking across volcanoes and glaciers.
