Review of The Green Knight

let me start with a spoiler. suppose, like the undersigned, you have watched the trailer and you expect an action-packed adventure film about a heroic knight who has to take on his worst enemy, then you will return from a barren journey. a glance at the director is also the best guess, especially when you think of pete's dragon (2016) or the old man & the gun (2018). ghost story (2017), on the other hand, already suggested that we are dealing with an idiosyncratic director who likes to tell stories in his own way. for this film, he took an old medieval poem (sir gawain and the green knight) in hand, formed a picture of what it is telling himself and turned it into this film. it all starts quite traditionally, with loose-legged gawain chasing the female beauty on camelot and arriving late for the umpteenth meeting of the round table. however, the beautiful and atmospheric images are already a harbinger of impending doom. what follows is an at times nightmarish journey through the forests of the kingdom, a kingdom that seems to be constantly shrouded in mist. after half an hour it becomes clear that this is no ordinary film. the poetry jumps off the screen and the beautiful pictures follow each other in quick succession, accompanied by appropriate medieval music. to a certain extent you accept that not everything needs to be explained, but all in all very little explanation is given. the few dialogues also give very little explanation about what is happening before our eyes. the last part completely leaves you with a wtf! feeling only to finally punch you in the face with the ending. it is not clear at all, but you can make of it what you want and give your own explanation to the whole, and it remains a beautifully portrayed and well acted film by a quirky director who will perhaps surprise us one day with a masterpiece without a doubt.
