Review of Severed Ways: The Norse Discovery of America

Sorry for the 'spoiler'. Excessive camera work, editing tricks and pushing the envelope of film taboos do not work with what is a period adventure drama. My spoiler - I stopped watching when we got an up close and personal shot of one of the vikings naked bum while he was evacuating. Meaning a graphic filming of voiding his intestinal tract.... I hope you don't get the picture, if you know what I mean. To bring an experimental style to a period piece requires careful consideration and a less is more approach. I do give points to the author for using an actual historical person, Thorfinn Karlsefni. His story is found in Eric the Red's Saga and Saga of Olaf Tryggvason... This story had and maybe has a lot of promise. Maybe somehow it can be resurrected.
