00:00In your opinion, what makes a villain?
00:02Who?
00:03I...
00:04A curly mustache.
00:31I...
00:31I...
00:32Your characters are always very complex and these ones too because we are never so sure who's
00:40the villain and who's the good guy.
00:42So, in your opinion, what makes a villain?
00:45Who?
00:46I...
00:48A curly mustache.
00:50I...
00:50You know, I think...
00:52I think that when...
00:54When I started to read the Icelandic sagas, the...
00:58What struck me is the modernity of the characters.
01:04Like, obviously, like, the mindset and their society and their, like, code of revenge is
01:12not modern at all.
01:13But the fact that the heroes in many of these sagas are outlaws and anti-heroes and maybe
01:22slightly psychopaths, you know?
01:25And...
01:25And...
01:26And...
01:26But then some of the...
01:27The so-called villains might be loving fathers and husbands.
01:31And that was really interesting to me.
01:32It's something that I wanted to...
01:34To put into the film.
01:35The main character says that he has known only hate.
01:39And...
01:40Anya Taylor Joyce tells him, uh, let's...
01:43Let's choose our future.
01:44Let's have hope.
01:46Uh, do you believe that, uh, that time is past and now we do really need, um, a maiden
01:53king?
01:54Yeah.
01:55Um, you're the second person to notice a maiden king on this whole press tour.
02:00And I appreciate it.
02:01But...
02:02Yeah.
02:02I mean, clearly...
02:05Clearly, you know, times have not changed.
02:10And it's really sad.
02:13Um, someone asked me if I was an optimist or a pessimist.
02:18And, like, if I'm gonna be honest, like, you can't be anything but a pessimist.
02:25Because human nature is awful.
02:28But you have to choose to be an optimist anyway.
02:31Just to wake up.
02:33So you do agree with the Northmen?
02:36We can escape our destiny?
02:39But you have to try.
02:41I mean, that's what's...
02:42That's what's scary about Russian fatalism.
02:45Yeah.
02:46I want to know everything about the mystical scene with Willem IV.
02:50How did you shoot it?
02:52It's amazing.
02:53Um, with a lot of fire.
02:55Okay.
02:55And, you know, I mean, the...
02:59That underground chamber is based on a burial site in Orkney that's from much before the
03:06Viking Age.
03:06And the idea is that, like, they built their temple above an older religious site of
03:13religious significance.
03:16So they go down into the depths of the earth for this ritual.
03:21Um, yeah.
03:22But, you know, look.
03:23Willem just has to, like, stand in front of the camera and he's good.
03:28Did he approve his head?
03:30His chopped head?
03:31Yeah.
03:31He liked it, yeah.
03:32Yeah.
03:33Okay.
03:34You've done, uh, previously, the lighthouse that was all in black and white.
03:40Now we have, um, small glimpse of black and white and are all related to Anya Tello's
03:47choice character.
03:48So why?
03:49Why did you choose that?
03:50There...
03:51I mean, maybe we should have put, like, a couple more points of blue and a couple more points
03:56of cyan, but basically the night look is very silvery and not, like, you know, James Cameron
04:06Titanic blue.
04:07It's very silvery, almost to the point of black and white.
04:09And this is based on Jaren Blaschke, my DOP's time in Africa being in incredibly remote locations
04:19with no light pollution and these, like, very luminous skies.
04:25And his impression of it was, is this kind of silvery color.
04:31That's what it's supposed to be.
04:34We'll, we'll work on it next time.
04:36Maybe it was the screen.
04:38I don't know.
04:38Why did you choose that silvery color for her?
04:43It's, it's, it's also, like, Bjork has it and, uh, you too, and it's just, you know,
04:48it looks, it hopefully looks good.
04:50Okay.
04:51But, but look, I mean, if we want to get Jung in about it, like, you know, uh, you know,
04:57Olga would be related to the moon.
05:00Ah, okay.
05:01So he, he's the sun and she's the moon?
05:05I don't know if he's a sun, but she's certainly a moon.
05:08Okay.
05:09Thank you so much.
05:10Thank you.
05:11Thank you.
05:11No!
05:13No!
05:14No!
05:15No!
05:16No!
05:17No!
05:19Grazie a tutti.
