David Lowery’s The Green Knight is coming back to The Frida Cinema just in time for a special Christmas season screening! And as an added bonus, we are excited to announce we’ll be doing a post-screening Q&A with Production Designer Jade Healy!
Dev Patel stars as Sir Gawain, a would-be knight whose perilous quest leads him through a landscape of ghosts, giants, and everything in-between. On Christmas Day, a mysterious giant figure–the Green Knight, half man and half tree — rides into Camelot and challenges any knight to strike him with his axe, on the condition that the Green Knight may return the same blow one year later. Seeking to prove his worth, Gawain steps forward to stand up to the task. The rest, they say, is the stuff of Arthurian legend.
Depicted with painterly precision, The Green Knight crafts a medieval world that feels both ancient and alive. The mud, candlelight, snow, and shadows will remain stuck in our brains forever and is a definitive entry into the new Christmas cult canon.
