2022 Film The Northman Trailer Breakdown

In the trailer we see a young Amleth witnessing the killing of his father who was the king at the hands of his uncle Fjölnir. Filled with the fire and anger to take revenge, Amleth grows up nurturing that fury, enlisting the aid of Olga and the Seeress in his plan for revenge. Amleth repeated mantra of avenging his father, saving his mother, and killing Fjölnir sum up his core motivation throughout the arc of the narrative, likening his fate.

Amleth is a figure that exists in medieval Scandinavian legend, a direct inspiration of Prince Hamlet, and the tale is said to have descended from an old Icelandic poem, although its presence is not backed by historical records.

Whether Eggers will factor in the basic tenets of the Hamletian dilemma, brought to life on the big screen countless times in different iterations, remains to be seen.

However, due to the distinctive context of adapting an authentically Viking tale, the recontextualization is bound to be layered and interesting, as both Sjón and Eggers have incorporated ancient Norse legends and practices, melding mystery with bloodshed, magic with war.
