The Last Duel (2021) is a historical drama directed by Ridley Scott, based on the true story of the last legally sanctioned duel in France. Set in 14th-century France, the film tells the story of the conflict between Jean de Carrouges (Matt Damon), a knight, and Jacques Le Gris (Adam Driver), his former friend and squire, over the accusation that Le Gris raped Carrouges’ wife, Marguerite (Jodie Comer). The film is told from three perspectives—Jean’s, Jacques’, and Marguerite’s—each offering a different view of the events leading to the duel. It explores themes of justice, honor, and gender dynamics.
