Description

Valhalla Rising is a 2009 Danish adventure drama film directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, starring Mads Mikkelsen. The film takes place in 1000 AD and follows a Norse warrior named One-Eye and a boy as they travel with a band of Christian Crusaders by ship in the hopes of finding the Holy Land. Instead, they find themselves in an unknown land (actually North America) where they are assailed by unseen forces and dark visions. The film was shot entirely in Scotland. The title is derived from the combination of Kenneth Anger's films Scorpio Rising and Lucifer Rising with a Viking theme. Romain Le Vern, "Interview Nicolas Winding Refn (Valhalla Rising - Le guerrier silencieux)," MYTF1News, 6 March 2010. (Refn: "Rien que pour le titre, on peut être tenté d'y voir une résonance. Kenneth Anger a réalisé Scorpio Rising et Lucifer Rising dans les années 70. Je propose Valhalla Rising en 2010.") While the film garnered generally positive reviews, it only made back a fraction–about $30,000–of its $5.7 million production cost.
