'The Green Knight is further proof of the outstanding movies produced by A24. Movies that are very special because of their creativity, their ingenuity and their courage to take different paths.
Basically, it has to be said that you have to get involved with this movie. On the one hand, this is due to the entire artistic style, which is not suitable for everyone. And on the other hand, you also have to be in the right mood. I can very well imagine that you can easily be bored by this movie if you are caught on the wrong foot.
The underlying story is very interesting and anything but run-off-the-mill, but not much happens between the triggering events at the beginning and the end of the story. Paradoxically, I personally liked that a lot. The movie flew by, I didn't feel any lengths or unnecessary narration at all.
The movie captivated me with its outstanding images, camera angles, soundtrack as well as its overall staging. Every shot is like a work of art.
We accompany the main character Gawain on his odyssey, which corresponds to a self-discovery. The pacing is very slow, which gives us the opportunity to dive into the emotional world and let the images shown work and interpret them for ourselves. At many points, there is a wide spectrum of interpretation.
Of course, the movie can be said to be about style over substance. The images suggest in many places that there is more to it than meets the eye. Some events I could relate to, but some events left me in the dark.
But I don't care about that. 'The Green Knight' knocked my socks off audiovisually. Worth a watch.
