Popcorn Culture - Review: The Last Duel

Directed by Ridley Scott, this epic film of historical fiction takes on a difficult and complex tale: in medieval France, a knight named Jean de Carrouges (Matt Damon), challenges his former friend Jacques Le Gris (Adam Driver) to a duel to the death after Jean's wife, Marguerite (Jodie Comer), accuses Jacques of raping her. We review the movie, and discuss the ways in which the story plays around with truth and multiple perspectives.
