This hallucinatory yuletide fantasy baffled audiences on release, yet remains one of the greatest films in Arthurian cinema. And, yes, it’s a Christmas movie. Fight me.
I've always loved the Green Knight legends - in large part because of their weirdness. Sounds like this film does them justice. It had completely passed me by, but I'll definitely be watching now. Wonderfully entertaining review!
I have to admit that this movie didn't do anything for me when I watched it (and I was REALLY excited for it). After reading your review, I'll have to give it another try an see!
THIS. Was good. Yes I will watch it again.
Thanks for making the time to write it. And thanks to everyone who made this film.
I'm not a big fan of Arthuriana, but I love Green Knight and Robert Bresson's Lancelot du Lac.
Not seen Lancelot du Lac in years. Pretty sure Lowery cited at as another influence on Green Knight! Thanks for reading!
Such a weird and fascinating movie. I first saw it on a plane, which was a weird enough situation as it was...
On a plane? Wow! That would be a suitably liminal space in which to watch it, for sure. :D

Thanks, T K. Yeah, a great if challenging film.
