Why culture is in the grip of a medieval revival
From our UK edition
At the conclusion of Alex Garland’s new film, Men, Jessie Buckley is confronted by the naked stalker who has been following her throughout the film, and who is now deep in the process of transforming into the mythic figure of the Green Man. He is played, like all the men in this film bar one, by Rory Kinnear. He howls in fear and pain, buckles over, sprouts sylvan vegetation from his face, grows a vagina and gives birth to a succession of the other Rory Kinnears we have been introduced to throughout the film, in his various roles as lairy village youth, creepy local priest, landed gentry and jobsworth policeman.
