Visually overwhelming (leave that to director Ridley Scott) medieval spectacle with a sparse but interesting plot, seen from three different perspectives. Long but fortunately not long-winded, partly due to the excellent cast. Nice to see Matt Damon and Ben Affleck together again in a movie; Affleck in particular is on a roll here in a colorful, often very funny role. Remarkably, the three parts into which the film is split are written by three different people, namely Damon, Affleck and Nicole Holofcener.

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck teamed up for the first time since their joint Academy Award for Good Will Hunting to screen the screenplay of this historical fact-based drama about an incident that took place in the late 14th century. , when duels had long been abolished as a means of determining who is telling the truth. Yet Jean de Carrouges [Matt Damon] duels to the death with Jacques Le Gris [Adam Driver] to defend his own honor and that of his wife Marguerit [Jodie Comer] in front of King Charles VI [Alex Lawther]. . The exact reason for the duel unfolds in three flashbacks in this variation on Kurosawa's masterpiece Rashomon. Damon and Affleck worked together on the screenplay for years, but finally decided to enlist the help of Nicole Holofcener (Enough Said, Can You Ever Forgive Me?) to complete the story. told from the perspective of Lady Marguerite. Like Rashomon, this is a study of how the narrator's personality and history influences the memory of the same events. The result of the collaboration between Damon, Affleck and Holofcener is simply astonishing and already offers enough food for discussion, also because the implications are still current. Scott completes this masterpiece with a breathtakingly exciting denouement in which Damon and Driver test their physical limits in the grueling duel to which the title refers.

Sodeju that average haha.
The start is already annoying with Americans with a very bad British (??) accent scurrying through 14th century France.
Then you see Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in knights' suits, which mainly works for the laughter muscles. You never have the idea of looking at real characters.
And then we get a Rashomon-style narration that, to be fair, isn't uplifting but isn't that bad.
And then 2.5 hours.
You just have to feel like it
