Movie Reviews of The Duellists
Movie Review: A gorgeous authenticity
Summary: 5 Stars
It is mind-boggling to discover that this film was made on a budget of 900K. It carries a strong sense of authenticity (the times and the places). And the filming is genius,.... haunting and beautiful. It's primarily about two very different men. One full of ego and hatred, feeling he has a lot to prove. The other,... resigned to his fate as an army officer, but with no desire to prove anything. But neither will he relinquish his dignity or honor. And the latter is plagued by the former for many years, and places, and wars. At this time in Europe it is all very believable, and it is not overdone or sensationalized. The ending is not what anyone will be expecting, and some may not like it. But it rang true to me. The performances where quite adequate, but this is really a director's film. All things considered, I thought this was a hell of a piece of film-making.
Summary of The Duellists
French hussars duel each other during the napoleonic wars. From a joseph conrad short story. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 08/19/2003 Starring: Keith Carradine Albert Finney Run time: 95 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Ridley ScottFirst film by director Ridley Scott barely got released in this country in the mid-1970s, but stands up, despite the rather noticeable accents of its stars. That's because Brooklynite Harvey Keitel and Westerner Keith Carradine are playing a pair of officers in Napoleon's army--oops! The plot centers on Carradine insulting Keitel and Keitel demanding vengeance. But every time they get into the middle of one of their duels, war breaks out or something else happens to interrupt. Keitel, however, is too pig-headed to let it drop and dogs Carradine over the course of 20?years. Strong performances otherwise and amazing cinematography, as well as a cast that includes Albert Finney, Edward Fox, and Tom Conti. --Marshall Fine
