"He was brought up from hell... "
A norse warrior (Mads Mikkelsen), is kept as a slave for his vicious fighting ability. After years of captivity he finally manages to escape, killing most of his captors, but sparing a young boy (Maarten Stevenson). The boy then tags along on his journey. Shortly thereafter they meet up with some Christian fighters, and the warrior throws in his lot with them when they decide to journey to the holy land, but they go astray in more ways than one.
A primitive mix of Heart of darkness, Aguirre: The Wrath of God, with a pinch of Dead Man. I can imagine that the silence and deliberately slow pace, not being to everyone's taste, but for me it drew me in.
