This movie proves that you don't need a multi-million dollar budget to make a great film with superb direction, outstanding cinematography, wonderful acting, and excellent musical score. Hats off to the costumers too: The uniforms are spot-on historically accurate.

If you haven't done so yet..You must watch this movie!! A Masterpiece.

What we may have gained in special effects skills(none of which are needed in this film) and trailer making skills (I'm so glad we don't use these voice-overs in trailers, and the scenes in here don't do justice to the beauty of the film) we have lost in film making and acting skills. More movies should be like this. And before someone says I'm old and need to keep up with whatever dreck they like, I'm a college student. I love this movie and loved it when I first saw it in my mid teens.

Haha was Keitel really best suited for this? I couldn't help but smile at everything he said in this trailer. Everything's a big, manly yell. Haha... I still want to see this though, even if it's kind of a stylistic rip off of Barry Lyndon.

Now, Barry Lyndon. That's a fucking film. Kubrick for life.

Best Movie I've ever seen. The Book was actually written by a Pole who learned english to perfection and changed that language abit by writing in it...blablabla....Am I Clear Enough now?

Brilliant film, I'll never forget that ending shot of Keitel dressed like Napoleon on the cliff.

@nickstace1 Try watching Scaramouche, the only film I know of with real fencing.

I just watched this movie. It is a masterpiece. I sat there watching as the duels became increasingly violent. While it did seem like Keitel played a mad man I loved the honourable way the duels were conducted.
