Review of The Duellists (1977) by Martin S — 28 Dec 2006
A director of fifty years would be lucky to make a film such as this, Ridley Scott's first. Keith Carradine is excellent and this is a very different Harvey Keitel than I'm used to. This is now my favourite of his performances, knocking Mean Streets off the top spot.
The Duellists is an absolutely beautiful film. That dumb old cliche about being able to hang any frame on your wall as a painting? This is that movie. And the score is perfect, one of the best I've heard in years. A great story and a great film. The most amazing debut film I've ever seen.
