The White Viking (alternative title Embla, Icelandic: Hvíti víkingurinn, Norwegian: Den hvite viking) is a 1991 film set in Norway and Iceland during the reign of Olaf I of Norway. The film loosely follows actual events.
Embla is the director's cut of The White Viking and was released on DVD in 2007. It premiered at the Reykjavik International Film Festival on October 6, 2007. Embla is the third film of the Raven Trilogy (also known as the Viking Trilogy) consisting of three 'Viking' films:
When the Raven Flies (1984) - (original Icelandic title: Hrafninn flýgur) - usually known as simply The Raven or Revenge of the Barbarians.
In The Shadow of the Raven (1987) - (original Icelandic title: Í skugga hrafnsins).
Embla (2007) - (original Icelandic title: Hvíti víkingurinn) - the directors cut of The White Viking.Embla was Maria Bonnevie's first screen role when she was sixteen years of age. The choice of names for the young married couple comes from Nordic mythology, in which the first two humans are named Ask and Embla.
