The Duellists
1977 · TMDB 7.2
Directed by Ridley Scott
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.
Why it matters
Two French officers, Armand d'Hubert and Gabriel Feraud, engage in a series of duels over a period of 15 years, their rivalry becoming a matter of honour and obsession.
