(VIDEO) A matter of honor: Vincent Perez comments on duel scenes
On the occasion of the release of his film on duels, we asked the actor-director to analyze some cult sequences from the history of cinema.
In A matter of honorVincent Perez plays Colonel Berchère, a violent man, obsessed with honor and ready to draw his sword at the slightest opportunity… When he comes into conflict with Clément Lacaze (Roschdy Zem, all in intensity), a master of taciturn weapons these are two conceptions of the world which will clash.
At the same time, Lacaze, who crossed paths with Marie-Rose Astié (Doria Tillier), a feminist ahead of her time, decides to teach her the complex art of dueling.
Fourth film directed by Vincent Perez, A matter of honor is a dive into 19th century Paris and a time when for a sideways glance, an unfortunate word, or, most often, for a flouted honor, one risked one’s life with the sword, the saber or the pistol . Both a historical drama and a thrilling epic, A matter of honor dust off all these genres.
Hence the desire to offer Vincent Perez some scenes of duels which have marked the history of cinema to see how he drew on his predecessors and, above all, how he was able to stand out from them.
A matter of honordirected by Vincent Perez and starring Roschdy Zem, Doria Tillier, Vincent Perez and Damien Bonnard will be released on Wednesday December 27 in cinemas
