Review of Valhalla Rising (2009) by Perry G — 04 Sep 2015
Epic and simply beautiful. Valhalla Rising is more like nordic Renaissance painting than "classic" movie. Muddy shades of melancholically sublime landscape, foggy sky, water - deadly and cleansing in the same time - and scarred not scared warrior fufilling the fate.
Hypnotic masterpiece with just few lines of dialogs and mind-blowing music, where every single pose is an aesthetical metaphor. Highly symbolic is presence (I do not want to write performance becouse this is something else and something more than this) of Mads Mikkelsen - he´s existing in film industry in the same way.
This man can tell everything just with a sight (of one eye..).
