Plot synopsis:
|
Tim Robbins stars as Erik...
Tim Robbins stars as Erik the Viking, a thoughtful man in a violent time who does not enjoy killing and raping like the rest of his people. When he accidentally kills a woman while defending her, he reevaluates his life and goes off in search of the Horn Resounding, which has the power to bring him to his true home--and end the Age of Ragnarok, bringing peace to the kingdom. To get there he has to lead a pathetic group of seasick sailors through the Gates of the World and into sunlight, on their way to Valhalla. But all threatens to come undone when the local blacksmith plots to sabotage the journey to protect his lucrative weapons business.

Play4film's point of view:
"Erik the Viking" was directed by ex 'Monty Python' Terry Jones and is an unmissable treat for all lovers of that famous English comedy group. Between surrealism and adventure, it is the story of Eric the red who discovers America long before Columbus. Tim Robbins, in the lead role, performs well utilizing thunderstruck tones and, in some cases, the irresistible suggestions posed by Jones' comedic verve. John Cleese, another member of Monty Python, also appears in this film. For anyone who wishes to deepen their knowledge of this group, who changed forever the history of comedy, we recommend "And Now for Something Completely Different".
