'The Green Knight' takes a dream-like trip through the Arthurian legend
CNN
"The Green Knight" offers a reminder, if any were needed, why you don't see many movies adapted from 14th-century poems. Even those intrigued by tales of King Arthur and his knights might find this ambitious film as impenetrable as armor, although the lush imagery and epic tone provide some compensation for embarking on this weird, hallucinatory trip.
Writer-director David Lowery ("A Ghost Story") must be persuasive in a pitch meeting, since he sold someone on financing a project based on an anonymously written tale devoted to Sir Gawain (Dev Patel), Arthur's nephew, who embarks on a chivalric quest. Introduced as a less-heralded member of the court, Gawain is surprised when Arthur (Sean Harris) asks that he join him at dinner, and further taken aback when the King requests a tale that will help to know him better.More Related News
