The Northman will be raiding movie theaters this weekend, delivering the latest epic from Robert Eggers and seeing Alexander Skarsgård portray a the visceral leading role. Eggers dives into this centuries-old world with pride in the accuracy of its representation but also delivers an extra effort in many sequences to immerse the audience. One scene in particular sees Skarsgård and his viking clan raiding a village. They starts in the tall grass, emerge, catch and return a spear, climb the walls, jump down, slaughter enemy fighters, round up women and children, and take the place over all without the camera showing a cut or change in perspective. The minutes-long sequence was one of the most intense parts of the shoot, given all of its moving pieces.
