The Duellists (1977, dir. Ridley Scott) – Opening scene: Lieutenant Gabriel Feraud duels the Mayor’s nephew.

I always find it interesting that Harvey Keitel starred in the directorial debuts of Martin Scorsese, Ridley Scott, and Quentin Tarantino. I can’t recall any other star like that.

Great movie. I treat it as supplementary to Barry Lyndon. Maybe it’s just my bubble that I live in, but both are kind of overlooked by my peers and deserve much more appreciation.
