Sir Gawain and the Green Knight


Regarding the 2021 movie version: The film by director and writer David Lowery released in July 2021 is a loose adaptation of the original poem. It takes a number of liberties with the text, but retains some of the main themes and characters. More about the adaptation here at sir gawain and the green knight.com
