The Green Knight stars Dev Patel, Alicia Vikander, and Ralph Ineson, was written and directed by David Lowery, and first hit theatres July 30, 2021. The Green Knight is available to rent on Google Play. Scene [57:18—104:27]Beaten, battered, and mentally defeated, Gawain enters a small seemingly abandoned cabin to rest.
