Valhalla Rising




Valhalla Rising was produced in 2009 and filmed entirely in Scotland.
Glasgow Film Office has supported and invested in this production.



Valhalla Rising tells about the One Eye warrior with a supernatural strength. He was a prisoner of the chief Barde for many years. However one day he and his little friend Are run away and get onto a Vikings’ ship. The One Eye finds out than his real destination.










Valhalla Rising was directed by Nicolas Winding Refn. 




I read that Nicolas prefers natural and realistic cinema, and this is exactly what we see while watching Valhalla Rising. Refn has transferred killing into art. While watching this film we see natural and impressive killing scenes, marvelous landscapes and well-matched actors. Moreover the make ups are really good, thus the actors look like real Vikings. 


I added some videos at the top of the page showing scenes from Valhalla Rising film.


Please enjoy :)
