Peacock Just Quietly Added The Most Underrated Historical Revenge Epic Of The Decade
Briefly

Robert Eggers' film, The Northman, stands out in its bold artistic vision and thrilling action, even as it closely follows the narrative root of Hamlet.
While The Northman appears to be simply a revenge tale rooted in Norse mythology, the film's artistry and Eggers' direction elevate it beyond typical blockbusters.
The Northman is a visually striking revenge epic that falls short of Eggers' earlier works but still showcases his unique approach to storytelling and action.
Eggers credits The Northman as a learning experience for his future projects, yet it remains a significant film in his collection that's more than just a stepping stone.
