Somewhere in the remote region, the war ends. In the midst of ruined cities and houses in the streets, in rural hamlets, everywhere where people still live, are children who have lost their homes and parents. Abandoned, hungry, and in rags, defenseless and humiliated, they wander through the world. Hunger drives them. Little streams of orphans merge into a river which rushes forward and submerges everything in its path. The children do not know any feeling; they know only the world of their enemies. They fight, steal, struggle for a mouthful of food, and violence is merely a means to get it. A gang led by Cahoun finds a refuge in an abandoned castle and encounters an old composer who has voluntarily retired into solitude from a world of hatred, treason, and crime. How can they find a common ground, how can they become mutual friends? The castle becomes their hiding place but possibly it will also be their first home which they may organize and must defend. But even for this, the price will be very high.
To this simple story, the journalist, writer, poet, scriptwriter, movie director, and film theoretician Béla Balázs applied many years of experience. He and the director Géza Radványi created a work which opened a new postwar chapter in Hungarian film. Surprisingly, this film has not lost any of its impact over the years, especially on a profound philosophical level. That is to say, it is not merely a movie about war; it is not important in what location and in what period of time it takes place. It is a story outside of time about the joyless fate of children who pay dearly for the cruel war games of adults.
At the time it was premiered, the movie was enthusiastically received by the critics. The main roles were taken by streetwise boys of a children's group who created their roles improvisationally in close contact with a few professional actors, and in the children's acting their own fresh experience of war's turmoil appears to be reflected. At the same time, their performance fits admirably into the mosaic of a very complex movie language. Balázs's influence revealed itself, above all, in the introductory sequences: an air raid on an amusement park, seen in a montage of dramatic situations evoking the last spasms of war, where, undoubtedly, we discern the influence of classical Soviet cinematography. Shooting, the boy's escape, the locomotive's wheels, the shadows of soldiers with submachine guns, the sound of a whistle—the images are linked together in abrupt sequences in which varying shots and expressive sharp sounds are emphasized. A perfectly planned screenplay avoided all elements of sentimentality, time-worn stereotypes of wronged children, romanticism and cheap simplification. The authors succeeded in bridging the perilous dramatic abyss of the metamorphosis of a children's community. Their telling of the story (the scene of pillaging, the assault on the castle, etc) independently introduced some neorealist elements which, at that time, were being propagated in Italy by De Sica, Rossellini, and other film artists. The rebukes of contemporary critics, who called attention to "formalism for its own sake" have been forgotten. The masterly art of cameraman Barnabás Hegyi gives vitality to the poetic images. His angle shots of the children, his composition of scenes in the castle interior, are a living document of the times, and underline the atmosphere and the characters of the protagonists. The success of the picture was also enhanced by the musical art of composer Dénes Buday who, in tense situations, inserted the theme of the Marseilaise into the movie's structure, as a motive of community unification, as an expression of friendship and the possibility of understanding.
Valahol Europaban is the first significant postwar Hungarian film. It originated in a relaxed atmosphere, replete with joy and euphoria, and it includes these elements in order to demonstrate the strength of humanism, tolerance, and friendship. It represents a general condemnation of war anywhere in the world, in any form.
年轻的高文，不要当骑士，也无需变伟大。人面对被斩首的命运走上前走，哪怕不接受最后的迎头一击也无可非议，但永远不要被一条不可破的绳索捆绑，顶着不存在的头颅过一世。太爱太爱，不出意外会是我的年度最爱，这正是传说在我梦中的模样。在最后的最后，绿色会覆盖一切。
视听爆炸的一部佳作，当一个人在大屏电脑上观看时，《绿衣骑士》犹如要把人拉入史诗般瑰丽的世界，让深陷者沉沦在浩大而不可言说的伟大里。勇气是可贵的品质，胆怯与懦弱不值得推崇，不过远不如虚假的勇气更使人唾弃，高文骑士死在持斧者的斧下，才是正途。
7/10。一开始还不太能理解——古装片能拍成这样吗？结果越看越能看进去，还觉得挺diao——传说不就得这么拍吗？！
先失去greatness，再失去kindness，只留下fame？ or cowardice

像一首诗 晦涩而神秘 节奏缓慢 很多典故不知道看的云里雾里 可能就是想要突出这种千人千理解的感觉吧
还是最熟悉的亚瑟王和他的骑士，跟着导演一起启程，见证骑士的诞生过程！要是不看简介，会看的云里雾里，但是最后还是会有所交代，只是观影过程太累了！打光和特效美不胜收，章节式推动剧情，尽管节奏很慢，但是依然想说剧情看了个寂寞，文艺到极致了！
7.5/10。「准骑士高文的奇妙历险」。留白的空间似读诗般需要慢慢品味。
出色的摄影灯光造型衬托了故事的单薄，也不是故事单薄，是太太太墨迹了。
结尾处的倒转镜头以为是“反骑士精神”的表达，刚要惊呼，结果只是幻想…

摄影美术太精美了，令人陶醉，成功构筑了一个瑰丽的亚瑟王时代。整个故事塞了众多奇幻神话情节，但结尾一段成功让叙事摆脱执着于“奇幻构建”与“隐喻设计”的创作欲望，把故事从悬浮缥缈拽回到一个男孩精神成长史诗，很有力道，发人深省。片中短发的和深V的艾丽西亚都好美。本片也让我第一次成功get到戴夫帕特尔。
骑士的赴约之行也是自身的朝圣之行，更是寻找勇气成为真正骑士的考验。神性和宗教性的陌生设置了高门槛，故事单薄与玄虚的叙述方式也让人无聊。不过画面和氛围还是很好看，拥有绵绵无尽的森林和绿色。
……从羊宝宝到小狐狸，A24的动物们倒是都蛮可爱的
勉励给3星吧！实在get不到这个相当不对等的死亡游戏的魅力。虽然男主的表现一直处于一种迷茫的游离状态和角色本身很贴近，但个人认为表演上不如坎妹有层次感。
骑士守护圣女，幽林通向湖底，游戏指引勇气，痛苦与荣耀而已。亚瑟王的那些松散小故事，无非就是决斗和美女相伴，讲来实在乏味，拍成电影，自然需要一些导演的加工和演绎：盖里奇选择了他熟悉的黑帮动作片；商业大片也许会将龙骨复活，与巨人一战；而大卫洛维则携带着A24的标签讲了一首叙事诗。古典的音乐，顶级的摄影，恐怖片的运镜，凯尔特的神秘被展现的淋漓尽致。原著中的高文凭借着衣带的庇佑捱过了三板斧，电影中的高文则选择用勇气面对不可抗之宿命，真正让骑士变成骑士的，永远不是魔法，而是坦然接受自己的命运。
虽然剧情看得不太懂，但那种诡秘阴冷童话般的氛围我还挺喜欢的
我看不懂，但我大受震撼。（奥斯卡最佳服化道可以冲起来了）
没有宗教知识背景 看得云里雾里 看了第一篇影评后大概了解了各种隐喻
7.0 / 由于对亚瑟王的故事不熟悉导致对这部电影很多故事情节和隐喻看得一知半解，不过光影和构图还是太迷人了。从《鬼魅浮生》到《绿衣骑士》，我依然对大卫 · 洛维有着很高期待。
