The Green Knight is the first film I saw in a theatre in a year and and a half, so perhaps I was susceptible to its charms. Lowery's film is based on Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, a 14th century poem about a would-be knight’s adventures. Gawain’s adventures on his way to the Green Knight are twisted tests of …
