The Last Duel (2021) is a historical drama film directed by Ridley Scott, featuring a screenplay by Nicole Holofcener, Ben Affleck, and Matt Damon. Based on true events, the film stars Matt Damon, Adam Driver, Jodie Comer, and Ben Affleck.
Set in 14th-century France, the film recounts the final judicial duel in French history. The story revolves around the real-life conflict between Jean de Carrouges (played by Matt Damon) and Jacques Le Gris (played by Adam Driver), two knights who were once friends but become bitter enemies. The central conflict of the film arises from an accusation of rape: Carrouges’ wife, Marguerite (played by Jodie Comer), accuses Le Gris of assaulting her.
The narrative is presented from three perspectives—Carrouges, Le Gris, and Marguerite—each providing their version of the events leading up to the duel. The film explores themes of justice, honor, and the role of women in a patriarchal society, shedding light on how each character’s perception of truth and honor influences their actions and the outcome of the legal proceedings.
The Last Duel is noted for its intense and dramatic storytelling, historical authenticity, and strong performances, particularly from Comer, who received critical acclaim for her role. Ridley Scott’s direction and the film’s intricate depiction of medieval justice and personal vendettas contribute to its powerful narrative and historical significance.
