'The Northman': Robert Eggers and Alexander Skarsgard Discuss Their Viking Epic [The Discourse Podcast]

This week marks the physical release of one of the year’s best and most visceral films, “The Northman.” Directed by Robert Eggers, the film follows Viking Prince Amleth (Alexander Skarsgård) on a lifelong journey of revenge against to man who killed his father, stole his mother, and threw his life into ruin. "The Northman," is a primal, visceral action movie, a meditative somber journey on the nature of revenge and a psychedelic art film all rolled up into one and it's easily one of the best movies of the year.

In celebration of the Blu-ray/DVD release this week, we’ve decided to share our contributor, Elena Lazic’s interviews with director Robert Eggers and Producer/Actor Alexander Skarsgård, who both worked tirelessly to make sure the film look and feels as realistic as possible. You can listen to both of our interviews with the two in this podcast conversation. Enjoy.
