Valhalla Rising Nicolas Winding Refn, in 2009
"In The Beginning There Was only man and nature. Men chamber bearing crosses and drove the heathen. To the fringes of the Earth. " With these words began the monumental "Valhalla Rising" by Refn. The man was born from nature, intended to (with) live with it. The Catholic God, the Creator gave to his followers the Earth, allowing them to do whatever they want. But man, distant and hostile to its Green Mother, has been lost and lives overwhelmed dall'irrefrenabile power of nature. One-Eye, like a new Jesus Christ, guide humanity towards a new relationship primordial self-sacrifice for it. In a nutshell, eh. A stunning film, cryptic and visionary (often reminiscent of the paradigm "The Holy Mountain" by Jodorowky) technically impeccable. Mads Mikkelsen monolithic.
