A historical drama about two men duelling to determine the veracity of a woman’s rape in 14th century France doesn’t, at first glance, scream “feminism.” But in the deft hands of “Alien” director R…
Based on a true story and co-written by Holofcener, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon , “The Last Duel” tells the true story of Marguerite’s sexual assault and its aftermath, in which she risks being burned at the stake by confiding in her husband Jean de Carrouges .
Given the film’s central theme — about believing a woman who has been raped — did she see any parallels with the #MeToo movement? “What strikes me the most, and is probably the most upsetting part about this story, is that it is so relevant in today’s society and I think that you can see that would have been the case for every decade that’s gone by,” she says.
“Afterwards, I remember Matt saying, you are going to realize very quickly how spoiled we are, when working with Ridley,” she recalls. “Because [the multiple cameras] mean everyone’s just on the ball at the exact same moment. There’s no time to slack or to save your energy for when the camera turns around on you. It kind of engages everyone in a way in which I’d never experienced.” The method also meant some of the more emotionally heavy scenes could be wrapped in just two or three takes.
How is Comer navigating between film and television? “I’m just trying to listen to what it is that I’m drawn to,” she says. “The script itself is really what drives me to make a decision. And then of course, the team who are executing it is another thing that’s hugely important. I just have to be provoked by an emotion and feel like a story is worth telling or is going to challenge me in a new way.
