Negative Positive
Title: Historically Accurate
Review: This movie has great cinematography and wonderfully accurate costumes. It is set during the Napoleonic wars. It follows the careers of two officers in Napoleon's army. They become involved in a duel over a ridiculous point of honor and proceed to fight numerous duels over the next couple of decades. The duels are portrayed in wonderfully accurate detail, no Errol Flynn mincing around with a foil here. The duels are bloody and brutal, but neither duellist ever achieves a clear cut victory. Harvey Keitel and David Carradine are great. Based on a Joseph Conrad short story (I think).
