Narayanan on The Green Knight
From a recent issue of Arthuriana:
Narayanan, Tirumular (Drew). "'Why is He Indian?': Missed Opportunities for Discussing Race in David Lowery's The Green Knight (2021)." Arthuriana, vol. 33 no. 3, Fall 2023, p. 36-59. Project MUSE, https://doi.org/10.1353/art.2023.a910870.
Abstract:
This article explores the depiction of Gawain in The Green Knight (2021). Despite having cast Dev Patel in the starring role, the film avoids any substantive discussion of race in Camelot. By trading in optical diversity alone, it deploys BIPOC bodies without ever telling their stories. (TDN)
