The Northman

Amleth watches his father killed and spends the rest of the film becoming the sentence he shouted as a boy. Eggers stages the revenge as a rite, with mud, a volcano, and a code that does not have an exit. Alexander Skarsgård plays the body. Anya Taylor-Joy’s Olga is the person who notices the code is a trap. The Focus trailer is the raid and the howl. The film asks, late, whether the boy still wants the ending he promised.
