An Arthurian acid-trip detailing the ambiguity of what it means to be a hero, The Green Knight is a gorgeously obscure tale.
The film relies heavily on atmosphere over pacing and presents a unique take on a classic story. I always find myself really intrigued by Barry Keoghan’s bizarre presence.
I found the vagueness of Gawain’s character really interesting, as well. Is he a hero or a coward? Does he truly seek honor? Nothing is what it seems in this fascinating visual production.
Best film I’ve seen in 2021 so far.
