Director Robert Eggers talks about when it’s OK to use digital effects, and why it’s ‘not sinful’ that he didn’t have Alexander Skarsgård catch a spear in The Northman. It still bothers him: "I whip myself every night." Behind the scenes on the Tree of Kings, a digital storm, and more.
Sometime around 960, King Harald Bluetooth named Roskilde the capital of Denmark. Not long after, Vikings purposefully scuttled five ships at the narrowest point of the adjacent fjord to create a defensive barrier. A thousand years later, these ships were excavated, then put on display in a museum built at the edge of the water, in 1969. The Skuldelev ships are the centerpiece of the Viking Ship Museum s main building, their forms silhouetted against huge windows overlooking the fjord. It’s dramatic, arresting, and not even the coolest part of the place.
