Blending historical authenticity with folkloric elements, his early career as a set designer for theatre productions, have all added up to his films carrying a very distinct visual and story-telling ‘signature’. His films often take on the feel of staged productions, transcending the film medium in which we view them.
From the opening scene, a volcano in a Scandinavian setting, it’s impressed upon us that there are scale and purpose here. It’s like we’re being invited to the grittier, earthbound version of Thor, Odin and Valhalla. And then we’re whisked to the world of rulers and feudal kings that lorded it during this Viking era. As I mentioned, there’s a very stage-y aspect to this and you can sense that Eggers is doing this with full intent.
Primal, visceral, bloody, tragic, and action-packed; there’s much to admire in how Eggers attacks the material at hand. It’s visually stunning, but never to the point of distraction to the story-telling. And it’s how he mixes the other-worldly and fantastical with the mundane and historical that allows us to marvel at what he’s conjured up.
