The Last Duel
Overview
Trial by combat, medieval edition. The Last Duel tells the same story three times — his truth, his truth, and hers — about a rape accusation in 14th-century France. Ridley Scott directs with brutal clarity, and the Rashomon structure pays off devastatingly. Jodie Comer is extraordinary. It's long and harrowing, but the final act is essential viewing. A film that demands to be discussed.
