A trio of screenwriters—Nicole Holofcener, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon—recount the events leading up to the duel three times, from three different perspectives
SIR RIDLEY SCOTT may have created two seminal works of science fiction in “Alien” and “Blade Runner” , but he has spent much of his career looking to the past for inspiration. His debut film “The Duellists” was set during the Napoleonic wars; he has depicted historical figures such as Christopher Columbus in “1492: Conquest of Paradise” as well as legends including Robin Hood.
Marguerite is really three different characters in the film. In the first chapter, told from her husband’s perspective, she is a beautiful young woman, saved from the ignominy of her father’s past treachery by marriage. His romance is clumsy and she is only seen fleetingly in between more familiar action scenes. For Le Gris, she is the enigmatic but obviously dissatisfied wife of his best friend, a Guinevere to his Launcelot.
