The Duellists 7.5/10
It is a tale about a feud between two French cavalry officers during the Napoleonic era, which lasts for 15 years, and involves five duels between them over those years. On one side you have Feroud, played by Harvey Keitel, an arrogant brute who is driven by his ego and his idea of honour. On the other side you have D'Hubert, played by Keith Carradine, both a victim of Feroud's warped inclinations and a prisoner of his own sense of honour.
It's a simple tale, but executed well by director Ridley Scott. I generally don't like American accents in period films/ tv shows, unless set in the US, but I didn't find the accents of Keitel and Carradine distracting.
