A medieval fantasy adventure, The Green Knight is a modern re-interpretation of the old poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by the Anonymous Poet.
From acclaimed director David Lowery and produced by A24 (among others), the film's production design and cinematography has wowed critics and captivated some audiences -- at least those that saw it.
With a release date interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, this spellbinding movie faced challenges to get in front of viewers.
But when you add in the film's strong acting performances and commitment to an interpretive, open-ended narrative, this movie is a somewhat lost treasure I predict audiences will swoon for as a 2020s classic in the years to come.
Join me for this discussion of The Green Knight's excellence and so-far legacy.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
