The Green Knight

Arthurian tales have captured the imaginations of artists for centuries. In the late 12th-century, the floodgates of Medieval Arthurian literature burst open, and across Western Europe, works about the fictional deeds of individual knights of the Round Table were written. These were tales of mistaken identity, switched births, giants, ceremonial duels, and forbidden love, that portrayed the different knights as flawed upholders of what came to be known as the Chivalric Code.

This summer sees the release of The Green Knight, David Lowery’s take on the 14th century poem ‘Sir Gawain and the Green Knight’ on A24. The film sees Lowery once again team up with Daniel Hart, the composer who scored Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, Pete’s Dragon and A Ghost Story, and the resulting soundtrack is every bit as evocative and ambitious as the movie itself. The Green Knight (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is being released via Milan Records on the same day as the theatrical release.
