| Summary |
Keith Carradine and Harvey Keitel star in this dramatic film about two officers in Napoleon's army who violently confront each other in a series of duels. The duels begin as a reaction to a minor incident and escalate into a consuming passion that rules the lives of both men for a period of 30 years. Based on Joseph Conrad's story, THE DUELLISTS explores the themes of obsession, honor and violence. This visually breathtaking film weaves a compelling story through to an unexpected outcome. Winner of Best Debut Film and nominated for the Palme d'Or at the **Cannes Film Festival**. Nominated for Best Cinematography and Best Costume Design at the **BAFTA Awards**. *"The richness of Scott's visuals, the excellence of the performances and the depth of the themes combine to make a minor masterpiece." - David Hughes, **Empire Magazine*** |
