Did I like it? You bet I bloody did! My favorite film of the year so far, a whopping 9.5/10 and positions Roger Eggers (The Witch, The Lighthouse) as arguably the greatest current director in the world. The tale of Amleth (Hamlet), the Danish prince, with a father murdered by his uncle is arguably the most famous Nordic tale of all, due to a certain British retelling of the story. But everything shines here, the cast, the direction, the screenplay, the music and the cinematography are all top notch - it's even riveting. The William Shakespeare/Lord of the Rings crossover you never knew you needed and far more the art-house Eggers than I'd thought possible.
