Chevalier vert
The poem has been adapted to film four times, twice by writer-director Stephen Weeks: first as "Gawain and the Green Knight" in 1973 and again in 1984 as "", featuring Miles O'Keeffe as Gawain and Sean Connery as the Green Knight. Both films have been criticised for deviating from the poem's plot. Also, Bertilak and the Green Knight are never connected. French/Australian director Martin Beilby directed a short (30') film adaptation in 2014. On 30 July 2021, "The Green Knight" was released, directed by American filmmaker David Lowery for A24 and starring Dev Patel as Gawain and Ralph Ineson as the Green Knight.
