Revisiting Ridley Scott’s stunning 1977 debut The Duellists
The Last Duel arrives forty four years after Scott’s similarly-titled, exceptionally strong debut.
The Duellists
A minor slight turns into a heated duel between two Lieutenants, a conflict that lasts years, in Ridley Scott's feature debut.
In 1800, as Napoleon Bonaparte rises to power in France, a rivalry erupts between Armand and Gabriel, two lieutenants in the French Army, over a perceived insult. For over a decade, they engage in a series of duels amidst larger conflicts, including the failed French invasion of Russia in 1812, and shifts in the political and social systems of Europe.
