One-Eye (Mads Mikkelsen), a mute warrior of formidable strength, has been held prisoner by the chieftain Barde for years. A spectacularly brutal and efficient killer, One-Eye is dispatched by Barde to fight for money and land in increasingly ferocious hand-to-hand conflicts. Shown kindness only by Are (Maarten Steven), the young boy who tends him, and knowing there is a greater calling on his life, One-Eye escapes, taking Are with him. On their flight, One-Eye and Are meet a group of Viking Christians, 'God's own soldiers' on pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Joining together, each embarks on a journey into their own personal heart of darkness. On one level One-Eye's mission to find his destiny is rendered with explicit and violent physicality, but director Winding Refn also employs the beauty and strangeness of the natural world to create an impression of the quietness and stillness of his inner self. This journey itself is highly metaphorical: whether traveling toward a new Jerusalem, the New World or into the arms of Valhalla itself, Winding Refn creates an outstanding sense of time, place and emotion. With beautiful atmospheric visuals and a hauntingly evocative electronic score, Valhalla Rising has echoes of the doomed voyages of Aguirre, Wrath of God or Apocalypse Now but, as we have come to expect with Winding Refn's work, this is a true original."
