At 83-years-old, there isn’t much that Ridley Scott has left to accomplish in his career. Even now, at an age where many filmmakers are content to collect their lifetime achievement awards, Scott continues to produce some of his most ambitious and far-reaching work.

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have proudly declared The Last Duel to be a feminist film.Based on the titular 2004 book by Eric Jager, the film – directed by Ridley Scott, with Affleck and Damon writing, producing and starring – is based on the true story of the last medieval trial by combat.Set in 14th century France, the story follows a duel between Jean de Carrouges (Damon) and Jacques Le Gris (Adam Driver), after the latter rapes the former’s wife, Marguerite de Carrouges (Jodie Comer).Take a
