2021 · Movie · your starting pointIf you're drawn to The Last Duel's fractured-perspective structure and medieval honor-bound conflict, you'll likely find similar ground in Kingslayer and King Charles III, which both weaponize competing narratives to expose how power distorts truth—though Kingslayer leans harder into Scott's signature technique. For the operatic staging of courtly intrigue and combat, Excalibur and The Green Knight probably hit closer, since both interrogate the gap between a knight's reputation and his actual character, though neither quite matches the procedural tension of a trial-by-combat framing.
