Watched "The Duellists" a 1977 film - the directorial debut of Ridley Scott - because it is suppose to be an accurate depiction of sword fighting.
Harvey Keitel plays what I would label a bully who enjoys dueling while Keith Carradine plays the unfortunate messenger who gets pulled into the bully's world. Swords have always creeped me out - as a kid I got cut once by a razor by accident - bled a lot - so sharp things have that effect on me.
Suffice to say this film creeped me out. Lots of sabre action. Keitel plays a good madman.
