The Northman (2022)
Appreciated more than enjoyed

I hadn't realized this film was directed by Robert Eggers, else I would've been better prepared. It's not what I expected, and it was hard to really get into.
That said, I can appreciate the film for its art. I would say it's a gem for cinephiles. It's like viewing the imagination of a medieval Viking peasant as he listens to a bard tell the tale of Amleth.
Great for what it is, but does not evoke emotional connection to the characters, and therefore feels less satisfying.
