Gawain

1 David Lowery’s gorgeous and inventive adaptation of “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” conjures magic in abundance.

2 This means you could be learning poems such as "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight", one of the oldest poems ever written.

3 Gawain impulsively accepts, swings a sword and decapitates the Green Knight — who in turn rises from the floor, calmly retrieves his head and leaves, reminding Gawain that they will reunite in one year.

4 First, a meaty, 35-minute overview has the director commenting on the original tale and justifying many of his creative alterations to the Gawain saga.

5 Part of the persistent charm of old texts like “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” lies in their stubborn unknowability.

6 When he encounters a bevy of female giants, for instance, the music acknowledges their awesome beauty instead of Gawain’s terror.

7 Set in the last days of Arthur's reign, the poem sees Tolkien tackling the old king's battle to save his country from Mordred the usurper, opening as Arthur and Gawain go to war.

8 Unfortunately, the Green Knight survives his own decapitation and promises to return the blow to Gawain in one year’s time.

9 There are long, idiosyncratic digressions in which he views his situation through various literary lenses – readings of Tintin, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Macbeth and the poetry of Plath.

10 The question of whether Gawain is dreaming or awake — alive or dead, one self or another — is at times urgent, at times moot.

11 Gawain — who is not yet a knight but wishes to become one — accepts the dare, and when the Green Knight, as he will be known, kneels, offering his neck, Gawain seizes the opportunity.

12 The actor Dev Patel gives a striking performance as Sir Gawain, a young knight who, in a bid for greatness, becomes a player in a deadly game against the mysterious Green Knight.

13 Armitage previously translated “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight,” one of the three other poems contained in a document known as the Pearl Manuscript.

14 The Green Knight This 2021 medieval fantasy honors and deconstructs the classic 14th century poem “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.”

15 They stumble into Sir Gawain, a knight of King Arthur’s round table, “a whiskery old fool” who claims to be on his way to slay the she-dragon Querig and rid England of her amnesic curse.

16 But of all the versions I've read – and by God, there's been a few – Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is still the one I love best.

17 Which brings us to the ending, when Gawain at last finds his Kurtz.

18 They meet an old knight, Sir Gawain, who’s on his own quixotic quest and becomes their protector from a host of mundane and supernatural threats.

19 You’re less likely to have seen the tale of Arthur’s nephew Gawain — the subject of the anonymous 14th-century poem “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” — on the big screen.

20 When writing Gawain he had separate desks for his thriller and his opera work.
