Dev Patel, Alicia Vikander Star

Sure, The green knight is an epic tale adapted from a late 14th century English poem about King Arthur and his Knights of Camelot, one of whom, Sir Gwain, embarks on a deadly divine quest to fight the titular knight, a gigantic creature arboreal, along the face of his magical fate at the hands of his witch mother, but this brand new clip from A24 is mostly about the beauty of Dev Patel when he’s soaked. Something about collarbones… The Oscar nominee and his head full of hair in David Lowery’s styling adaptation starring Alicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton, Sarita Choudhury, Kate Dickie, Ralph Ineson, Barry Keoghan and Sean Harris. Legend has it that the film was due to arrive in the summer of 2020, but a great plague has put a curse on all theaters. Fortunately, all you need to do is visit a COVID-19 vaccination center (and a mask) to benefit The green knight in theaters July 30.
