Aro Recommended Anton Chekhov's The Duel

 

UK 2010, 95 minutes
Dir. Dover Koshashvili
Rating: [M] Violence and nudity
Genres: Drama

 

Aroview: Quietly absorbing and witty adaptation of a Chekhov novella with a young aristocrat's fickle relationship with a married woman leading to potential tragedy and the famed Chekhov epiphany.

Dramatically low-key, but engaging all round, with appealing (though unknown) young leads and painterly visuals - a beautiful Croatian seaside location here standing in for coastal Caucasus, and rendered in elegant green-blue hues.
