Next month Toronto Film Festival will kick-off with the usual array of spectacular films, engaging films, intelligent films and those that deliver escapism. Next month will also see the release of The Duelist (Duelyant) Aleksey Mizgirev's spectacular high budget Russia film made for IMAX. Before it hits the cinemas in Russia it will premiere at Toronto and today we get a chance to look at it's explosive new third trailer with English subtitles....
Saint Petersburg, 1860. Retired officer Yakovlev is a mysterious and unbeatable duelist for hire. For a fee, he fights on behalf of those too weak, unskilled or frightened to fight duels themselves, as is permitted by the Russian code of honor.Yakovlev has a dark secret: years ago, he was framed for a crime he didn’t commit by the powerful Count Beklemishev, stripped of his title and sent into exile to die a lonely death in disgrace. But he survived, assumed another identity and has returned to St. Petersburg to seek revenge. There, he meets the young and beautiful Princess Martha and the two fall in love.His romance transforms Yakovlev and brings him back to life. But then he learns that his enemy, Count Beklemishev, plans to marry Martha to obtain her enormous fortune. Yakovlev has to reveal himself and confront his enemy, despite mortal danger, in order to save his love and avenge himself.
Pulsating, impressive are some words that come to mind and I think having the film set in 1800's gives the film an extra dimension when it comes to IMAX. It's one trailer that speaks for itself and we do hope this one will find itself been released in UK&Ireland.
The Duelist is set for 26th September 2016 Russia cinema release and stars Pyotr Fyodorov ,Vladimir Mashkov, Martin Wuttke and Yuri Kilokolnikov.
