From the green of Iceland to the Classical Greek silhouettes duelling amongst the lava, the beautiful wooden doors, the steel of the swords or the grace of the ships, of the clothing and of every tiny detail... the movie is a feast for the eyes.
The story celebrates the myth of Amleth, in one of its thousand versions (but infinitely more Saxo's than Shakespeare's...) so you know what to expect.
But the reason why you'll like the movie is not even remotely its plot. You'll like it because it will bring you close to the Ancient Gods, in a world where mortal life counts nothing and the air around you is filled with mysteries and fate.
This, of course, if you will not mind a little blood...
Enjoy.
