Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEssel (Alicia Vikander) wears bells on her shroud because during the Middle Ages, it was common for people who were considered unclean, such as prostitutes, to be forced to wear bells on their clothing to warn others of their presence. She has her hair cropped for the same reason; in medieval London and many other places, prostitutes had their hair cut short as a public humiliation and punishment.
- GoofsThe woods that Sir Gawain goes through are clearly modern plantations of Sitka spruce (a tree that did not reach Britain until the 19th century), all planted at equal distances apart and all grown to the same size; they look nothing like the old-growth deciduous forests that would have been in medieval Britain.
- Crazy creditsThere is a short scene at the very end of the credits.
- ConnectionsFeatured in The Oscars (2021)
Featured review
a game
I hesitated to see this film. The basic motif - it was difficult to imagine Gawain under the physical traits of Dev Patel. But, at the end of film, this is not just a problem, the work of Patel being just fair and well crafted.
The problem is the feeling than. David Lowery makes this obvious beautiful film for himself first, like teacher loving to teach , ignoring their students for present entire erudition accumulated in time. Being one of small admirers of poem, I accepted this provocative game proposed by director, I appreciated the Medieval references , the poetry of image but I was confused for the eccentric option for use the poem , from the place of Morgana to the use of fox, reminding more Little Prince in bizarre version and the reference for Last Temptation by Martin Scorsese . And sure, the not pleasant and so dry final.
But , sure , it is a game. Maybe too personal , easy to see. David Lowery reflected by Green Knight.
