I was this day old when I found out that Penance Adair from "The Nevers" and Villanelle from "Killing Eve" are NOT played by the same actress. I need my eyes checked. But I mean, you can see where my confusion comes from, can't you?

"She had very delicate features … her eyes are sort of cat-like. Wide, but alert. Her lips are full, she has a long neck, high cheekbones. Her skin is smooth and bright" - this description of Villanelle by Eve fits either of them.

The Last Duel.

D: Ridley Scott (2021).

The duel in Ridley Scott’s new movie is exciting, gory and painful to watch – and also beside the point. Set in fourteenth century France and based on the country’s last officially sanctioned duel, most of the film is the story told, Rashoman style-from three different viewpoints that unlike Kurosawa’s film converge into a clear picture. The sequence that details the “truth” according to Jean de Carrouges (Matt Damon) is of a brave and true soldier who is undercut and betrayed by his former compatriot and friend Jacques Le Gris (Adam Driver) who, through his influence in the court of Count Pierre d’Alencon (played as an unapologetic libertine by Ben Affleck), is able to assume land and titles that are rightfully his and who culminates his offenses by sneaking into his castle and rapes his new wife Marguerite (Jody Comer). Le Gris’ story is that Carrouges’ petulance and litigiousness put him out of favor with the court, and the rape was the byproduct of a flirtatious seduction of an unhappy spouse and, you know, the heart wants what it wants. When Marguerite gives her testimony we see a portrait of an unsatisfying and mercenary union with her husband, a stalking and rape by Le Gris, amid a judicial and moral system that defines her as either property or prey.

Scott’s direction doesn’t allow us any distance from Marguerite’s rape. We see it twice from Le Gris’s and hers but the director never shows it as less than horrific. And the script (by Damon, Affleck and Nicole Holofcener) denies us historical distance. When we see Le Gris being counseled by a cleric (an oily Zelijko Ivanek) it’s not all that different advice than an accused rapist might get today or when Carrouges’s initial response to hearing about it is to demand sex with Marguerite “so that [Le Gris] won’t be her last” (basically an honor rape), seven hundred years doesn’t seem as far away as it should be. In the end the movie - and Jody Comer’s titanic performance - has us see the climactic, almost meaningless duel through her eyes – as a trivial fight for the honor of two men the world would be well rid of.
