The Northman

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here!

Our Robert Eggers Retrospective series concludes with The Northman. Revisiting this film after two years, Cam discovers that instead of just being 'Viking Hamlet,' the film is actually a freeform hybrid of Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Hamlet, and Doctor Faustus. Maggie tracks the strands of fate that connect these doomed characters, and the stylistic departures of Eggers' third film. Together, we chart echoes from across every project in his filmography and close with a deep discussion of The Northman as a revenge story.
