About this movie

The New York Times Critics' Pick ANTON CHEKHOV'S "THE DUEL" breathes new life into a classic Chekhovian tale. THE DUEL is a gorgeously cinematic and accessible movie that is sensuous, passionate, dramatic and peppered with delightful moments of levity inherent to the great novella. Set in a seaside resort in the Caucasus, the story centers on n'er do well, Laevsky (Andrew Scott) and his illicit relationship with his mistress Nadya (Fiona Glascott). A brilliant ensemble cast of British and Irish actors strikes just the right balance. 2012 Double Hope Films. All Rights Reserved.
