A thought-provoking drama set in the midst of the Hundred Years War that explores the power of men, the frailty of justice and the courage of one woman willing to stand up for the truth.
A thought-provoking drama set in the midst of the Hundred Years War and based on actual events. The film unravels long-held assumptions about France’s last sanctioned duel between Jean de Carrouges and Jacques Le Gris, two friends turned bitter rivals. Carrouges is a respected knight known for his bravery and skill on the battlefield. Le Gris is a Norman squire whose eloquence make him one of the most admired nobles in court. When Carrouges’ wife, Marguerite, is viciously assaulted by Le Gris, a charge he denies, she refuses to stay silent, stepping forward to accuse her attacker – an act of bravery and defiance that puts her life in jeopardy. The ensuing trial by combat places the fate of all three in God’s hands. Stars Jodie Comer, Adam Driver, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon.
