The Green Knight
David Lowery
This was my first film in theaters since the pandemic, and oh boy WHAT a movie to pick for that particular experience. I think it started off strong, lost some steam in the middle, but ended as it began. The film doesn't lend itself to straightforward analysis, but I think the main message is in the perpetual use of the word 'game.' I was trying to determine the distinction between a quest and a game, and I ended up concluding that it has to do with stakes. A game implies something with little to no consequences, and without spoiling the film I think it does a good job investigating this. I wish the environmental themes had been hit a little harder, and some of the asides seemed a bit random; but all in all, I think it was very well done. Cinematography, dialogue, and action were all NOICE.
