One-Eye. a mute Norse warrior, is held captive by a Norse chieftain and used as a fighter for his bets. When One-Eye escapes his clutches, him and a young boy join a group of Christian Vikings on what was to be a crusade. Instead, they find an unknown new land but they don't seem to fit in...
Nicolas Winding Refn is on fire! This interesting director from Denmark directs this highly atmospheric film. Divided in six chapters, each narrating a different aspect, this film is almost entirely allegoric. Don't try to find a meaning in this film from the start otherwise you'll lose the point. Instead, let it roll and then let it get to you.
Mads Mikkelsen does a great work here. It is impressive how he goes throughout the entire film without even saying one word, letting his expressions and body language do all the work. I value that skill greatly in an actor and even if the film may seem boring at times, Mads takes it up a notch.
Must watch this : on a cold and windy November night, with the window open to let the chill come in. Gather your friends (the ones with whom you have philosophical dialogues), put on some heavy incense, get a cigarette each and a glass of neat alcohol and let the movie you draw you into the mist! After the movie, keep doing whatever you do (smoking, drinking, tripping) with that atmospheric shit !
