The film was produced, written and directed by famous director Stanley Kubrick and it is considered one of his finest works.

The Duellists (1977)



Historical drama film which is set during the Napoleonic Wars and whose plot is about two French Hussar officers's feud, whose cause is a misundertanding between both duellists, is  over fifteen(!) years. It was the first film Ridley Scott directed. As an anecdote I'd say that this film contains real fencing scenes, something which is not usual in most later films.
