Valhalla Rising
Before the emptiness of Only God Forgives and Neon Demon, Nicolas Winding Refn collaborated with gracefully feral Mads Mikkelsen on some critically acclaimed dramas. Mikkelsen plays an 11th-century pagan held captive in bestial conditions. When Viking Christians invade, One-Eye and his only friend, an enslaved boy, join them on the Crusades. But the bloodshed, not surprisingly, is far from over.
