This 35mm presentation, also screening with Ridley Scott Q&A on October 4th, is part of the director's season at BFI Southbank. Full details here.BFI introduction:
Strasbourg, 1800. Two French officers engage in a duel following a minor
disagreement. What both cannot see is that this seemingly trivial
incident will have a marked effect on both their lives, as well as those
around them. Ridley Scott’s visually ravishing debut feature is adapted
from a Joseph Conrad story and features an early score by Howard Blake,
which conveys the intensity of the two officer’s obsessive and
destructive quest.
Here (and above) is the trailer.
