The Northman 2022

The latest film by Robert Eggers establishes the filmmaker's filmic stamp, who with The Witch (2015) and The Lighthouse (2019) showed the public that terror, especially psychological terror, goes wonderfully with artistic photography. In this interpretation of the Amleth legend, Eggers gave us a wonderful film where every element is beautiful. Alexander Skarsgård and Anya Taylor-Joy as the protagonists are wonderfully chosen for this story, as their performances were perfect from start to finish. The music by Robin Carolan and Sebastian Gainsborough is masterful, as is the sound. The photography of Jarin Blaschke, who worked on Eggers' previous two films, serves to ensure a duo that still has a lot to experience and capture on the big screen with that dark and gloomy style. And one more element that brings the narrative to perfection is the editing of Louise Ford, who coincides with Eggers again in this film and who manages to include the sequences of chaos and madness in a wonderful way. There is nothing I didn't love about this movie from minute one to the end credits. Completely recommended. And as if that were not enough, Alfonso Cuarón also recommended it.
