    The delicate portrayal of male emotions in this work is far greater than the apparent battle for honor. Low-key and realistic, the era is meticulously restored, a...

    Ridley Scott's debut, won the Cannes Film Festival Best Debut Award. Based on the works of the well-known Polish writer Konrad in the 19th century, it is a film that explores the elements of fanaticism, honor and violence against the background of the great era. The inner drama, amazing photography and framing skills are the focus of this...

    This kind of live-action period drama is really eye-catching, and the entry point of the narrative is also very unique. The grand background of the times is not presented as a spectacle, so the whole film is firmly focused on the two characters from beginning to end, so that the final emotional arc can be achieved. be...

    Like a classic romantic novel, there is also a hint of British sentiment in the accent. The scenery and soundtrack are all excellent. Dibble's flashing personality and decadent concept of honor, Ferrou is more like Napoleon's paranoid obsession. After reading it, I found that Harvey Keitel was identified as Gene Hackman, and the two were really stupid and couldn't tell the...

    God's work, Ridley Scott's debut is so powerful. Several duels in the film are very realistic, and they are infinitely close to the real fights. It makes people nervous to watch, especially in the fourth game, I dare not look down. The film is rich in meaning. For D'Hubert, when faced with the opponent's unreasonable provocation, he can only passively accept it again and again. Feraud is the concrete expression of fate. Feraud also symbolizes the bankruptcy of the Romanticism represented by...

    Fifteen years, four life-and-death duels, just for one sentence, and finally don't even remember that sentence. The course of the duel between the two officers is like the war launched by Napoleon, chasing and fighting others, others passively fighting back, and finally dying alone... Who are you trying to conquer? What do you want to...

    After reading it, I realized that it was the debut work of Ridley Scott's director. It was a great movie with exquisite pictures, real scenes and picturesque scenes. A duel between soldiers was fought from the 18th century to the 19th century. One was defending Emperor Napoleon. Honor, the other was forced to get involved in this duel, and the fight scenes were exciting and...

    "Good-looking debut"

    First movie ever made by Ridley Scott, the Master of Hollow Spectacles. Visually stunning. As a period piece, the research that evidently went into preparartion of the costumes, settings and army paraphalia, is simply amazing.

    The plot is perfunctory. It is the kind of scripts that you figure can...

The Duellists quotes

  • [talking about a marriage]

    Armand D'Hubert: If I were to neglect making you a proposal, no blame would attach to you. And I think perhaps you might be saved from a... sad dull life.

    Adele: If you neglect to make me a proposal, my uncle will go mad.

    Armand D'Hubert: Damn it, you are not put on this earth to coddle your uncle.

  • [first lines]

    Narrator: The duellist demands satisfaction. Honour, for him, is an appetite. This story is about an eccentric kind of hunger. It is a true story and begins in the year that Napoleon Bonaparte became ruler of France.
