“Though it may seem unknightly, The Green Knight (2021) will not hold your hand. It takes its sweet time, it doesnu0026#39;t try to engage the viewer with adrenaline-fueled swashbuckling sequences of adventure. It does not care if you canu0026#39;t clearly understand the English of old.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll of these seem like flaws but theyu0026#39;re actually the movieu0026#39;s greatest strengths. The Green Knight does not actively try to be easy to follow both visually or through dialogue, and in doing so becomes so much more immersive and hypnotic. Instead of relying on drawn-out action sequences, David Lowery tries to enchant you with The Green Knightu0026#39;s cinematography and mise-en-scene, and succeeds.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film is very light on plot as it is a decidedly simple adaptation of a simple legend. So if youu0026#39;re into movies with a particularly ambitious story, this definitely isnu0026#39;t the movie for you. What The Green Knight lacks in terms of being a commercially appealing film, it makes up for by being cinema. And as cinema, it is profound.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is an exquisite treat for the eyes and the ears. The score, the sound design, the camerawork, the lighting, the editing, the costumes, the effects, everything superbly comes together to create something wholly original.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is not an action film. It is a film about honor. Itu0026#39;s not a big-budget extravaganza but very evidently arthouse cinema that serves another purpose- just so you know what to expect.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you appreciate cinema as an art form, watch this in a theater.”
