If you loved Der Mann im Hintergrund, try The Last Duel
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Ridley Scott, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Der Mann im Hintergrund, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Last Duel is
France, 1386. Winter. Distant church bell. A knight accuses a former friend of violating his wife. Trial by combat looms, ordained by a callow king. Scott's late-period history plays often hinge on grim spectacle.
