If a brutal, atmospheric take on the Scandinavian legend that inspired Shakespeare's "Hamlet" doesn't sound like your cup of tea, don't rush to judgment. That's the elevator pitch for Robert Eggers' "The Northman," starring Nicole Kidman, Ethan Hawke, Alexander Skarsgård, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Björk. Eggers wowed audiences and critics alike with "The Witch" and "The Lighthouse," and "The Northman" looks like another moody and gorgeous winner. But what's the story behind the story, "The Legend of Amleth"? Who is "Amleth," anyway? Is "The Northman" really just "Hamlet meets Vikings," or is there more to it? This is the legend of The Northman's Amleth, explained.
