In the coverage of The Last Duel that I’ve seen so far, I’m a bit surprised to see no mention of Ridley Scott’s first feature film, The Duellists. Napoleonic War era swordsmen, not medieval knights, but he’s been doing lethal combat challenges for close to half a century. The Duellists is simply gorgeous. Best Debut at Cannes in 1977
I loved the first 1.5 hours of Last Duel but didn't care for the last hour. I really like her as an actress but I thought her story kind of went off the rails.
Well done review of Last Duel. Also, have seen BHD a couple of times. Good pic. Think the strengths and recognizability of Shepard, Sizemore and the other older cast members made the performances of the younger ones more poignant and believable. Cripes, has it really been 20 years? Tempus fugit, for sure!

Last Duel sounds amazing. I didn't love the trailer but it sounds really cool.
