Try this in your mpv.conf file

    no-config
    target-trc=pq
    target-prim=bt.2020
    vo=gpu-next
Wont be 100% accurate, but hopefully somewhat watchable

I believe that the target primaries must be those of your monitor.

BT.2020 are the primaries used to encode the HDR movie.

Monitors with such primaries are rare and extremely expensive. For most good monitors "--target-prim=dci-p3" should be appropriate, if DCI-P3 has already been selected from the on-screen monitor configuration menu, because most monitors come configured by default to use the ugly sRGB color space, so you must change the defaults to be able to display content with bigger color spaces.

Some monitors might have the option to use the BT.2020 color space, when they would still not be able to display all of it, but they would do internally the conversion between the BT.2020 used to encode the movie and whatever color space the monitor can actually display.

Still very green/purple. It's fine, I was able to find a non-HDR version.

Then you probably have either a very old mpv or one that was compiled without including the "gpu-next" video output driver.

Or else the GPU drivers for your GPU card have not been updated for a very long time.

A recent mpv and recent GPU drivers should solve this problem, because it was frequently encountered only up to a couple of years ago.
