The Northman

In <em>The Northman</em>, Alexander Skarsgård plays a Viking prince who flees his island kingdom when his uncle kills his father and marries his mother. It's based on a very old but familiar story that predates Shakespeare's <em>Hamlet</em> by a few centuries. Directed by Robert Eggers, <em>The Northman</em> is a tale of bloody revenge with painstakingly researched historical accuracy surrounding the gods and monsters of Viking culture. <em>Vote for your favorite American Idol contestants at </em><a href="https://npr.org/americanidol"><em>npr.org/AmericanIdol</em></a>
