- Exciting tale about times when honour was everything and life without it was nothing, based on the legend of the Knights of the Round Table made famous by J. R. R. Tolkien.
- An unexpected arrival of the eponymous Green Knight at the Camelot castle interrupts Christmas celebrations at the King’s court. A gigantic stranger with an emerald-coloured skin challenges King Arthur and his knights. The challenge is accepted by Sir Gawain (Dev Patel), a young and impulsive nephew of the king. The duel with the mysterious giant, who doesn’t even fear being decapitated, will prove to be the final test of character, bravery and righteousness for the bold contender. After the success of Midsommar and Lighthouse, studio A24 has followed suit and hired David Lowry, a visionary author of the acclaimed Ghost Story and Old Man and the Gun. This collaboration resulted in a completely original, impressive version of the classic chivalric epic
