  • Matt Damon and Ben Affleck know a thing or two about writing a good script (having won Best Original Screenplay for Good Will Hunting), but it wasn't until Jodie Comer's fearless, early commitment to their latest project, The Last Duel (directed by Ridley Scott), that they could truly see this story coming to life. In our extended conversation, we spoke with Comer about what she wishes to truly know about Marguerite de Carrouges, the 14th century woman whose honor was fought over in France's final sanctioned duel. Co-writer Nicole Holofcener talks about finally exploring history not just through the eyes of men, but women of importance. Damon speaks on doing as many of his own stunts as possible in the titular fight against a "much younger" Adam Driver. Meanwhile, Affleck questions why Damon's name always comes first when people talk about their partnership.

    In a perfect world Jodie Comer would get all the attention, recognition, and praises she deserves for her subtle, nuanced, poignant, utterly brilliant and beautiful performance in 'The Last Duel'. It's a crime how much she's been overlooked this award season.

    3:59 "I don't even know if there was a photograph of her anywhere."
    The utterance collectively lowered our IQ.
    Photography wasn't invented until 1826 when Nicéphore Niépce photographed his "View from the Window at Le Gras", 440 years after the duel of this film takes place, with the first portrait being a self portrait of Robert Cornelius in 1839, 453 years after the duel.

    What a TEAM!! Edit: Just watched it again (month later). Still amazed to see two of my all time favorite actors and the stellar Jodie C in one movie. A real treat! I chuckled, because my mind played a trick on me. Matt said something like "And so Ridley had the idea...", from which my mind created "Sir Ridley had the idea..."
    The movie is nothing short of amazing, but certainly no light entertainment, and I only really began to appreciate it after watching it a second time which, I have to admit, I might not have done if Matt, Ben and Jodie hadn't been in it. I suppose this movie will go down as a classic, nominations or not.

    She was a liar so I guess it does match the "me too" movement.

      It stays unresolved for a reason. The point of the movie is not that she lied or did not lie. It is to show that people experience and see the same situations in very different lights.

      @@iirovaltonen4258 what? Clearly that’s not the point of the movie. It clearly wants to show how women have been mistreated the whole history, in this case, in the medieval times, and how needed feminism was and is.

    Jodie Comer has nice legs, doesn't she? Since they were prominently on display, I thought it would be rude not to mention them.

    Oh dear God save me from wokism and its march through modern movie scripts. I would rather stick pins into my eye-balls than listen to this gush-fest in which two leading men must kneel before their middling female collaborators in a film that destroys all its male characters and hero-worships the one woman.
