Inspired by Arthurian legend, specifically the late 14th century chivalric romance Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, A24’s The Green Knight stars The Person History of David Copperfield’s Dev Patel as Sir Gawain, King Arthur’s nephew.
Gawain is sent on a quest to defeat the monstrous-looking Green Knight, played by Ralph Ineson, who Game of Thrones fans will remember for bringing Dagmer Cleftjaw to life.
Speaking of which, looking at the reasons provided for The Green Knight’s R-rating, I imagine this movie will appeal to the same sensibilities that attracted a lot of people to Game of Thrones.
