23 - The Green Knight (2021) Review
Manage episode 478496342 series 3618027
A medieval fantasy adventure, The Green Knight is a modern re-interpretation of the old poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by the Anonymous Poet.
From acclaimed director David Lowery and produced by A24 (among others), the film's production design and cinematography has wowed critics and captivated some audiences -- at least those that saw it.
With a release date interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, this spellbinding movie faced challenges to get in front of viewers.
But when you add in the film's strong acting performances and commitment to an interpretive, open-ended narrative, this movie is a somewhat lost treasure I predict audiences will swoon for as a 2020s classic in the years to come.
Join me for this discussion of The Green Knight's excellence and so-far legacy.
