Under the Wheels Episode 43: The Last Duel

Gabe and Matt talk about The Last Duel. Topics include The
Limey; Hard Eight; the difficulty of rating The Last Duel; comparisons to
Rashomon and why Rashomon is not one of Gabe and Matt’s favorites; how the
Criterion Collection knows how to market to their targeted demographic really
well (and has some of the best cover art); some divergence to Branded to Kill; the
difficulty of talking about truth in film; if The Last Duel is just a movie of
the moment or if it can be timeless; the odd conflict between Ridley Scott as a
director and as a producer on the same movie; how the movie criticizes common
notions of medieval life; Charles VI’s portrayals in movies; how the movie
balances its messaging; and the expert filmmaking of Ridley Scott.
