'The Green Knight' Movie Review: Artistic, but far too enigmatic!

Lowery’s attempt at visual poetry with Andrew Droz Palermo’s extraordinary cinematography rooting it and Patel’s mature performance are the highlights of this rather inscrutable (what feels unfinished) experience

The Green Knight
U/A; Fantasy, adventure
Dir: David Lowery
Cast: Dev Patel, Alicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton
Rating: ***
David Lowery’s version of the epic fantasy adventure, an Arthurian legend, tells the story of Sir Gawain (Dev Patel), King Arthur’s wild and irresponsible nephew who takes on the challenge put forward by the Green Knight (Ralph Ineson), a rite of passage test that could win him the kingdom or lose him his life.
Previous movies and TV versions exist, but Lowery’s version is unique in its vision, casting choices and narrative. His adaptation of the anonymously written, 14th century chivalric romance is adventurous in spiel, but not experience. He takes a rather off-beat approach to recast a well-known legend and pulls out a quirky, fantastic, evocatively moody experience that may be devoid of conventional thrills, but thrives on intriguing visuals and understated valour. The ambiguity in the dialogues and the character byplay will leave you scratching your head in vain.
