"Laurus Nobilis - messer vs messer duel fight" by @AdoreaOlomouc
youtube.com/watch?v=HwHNzL9-zpg
This duel scene proves that it's perfectly possible to combine realism and historical accuracy with awesome cinematic action and compelling storytelling. Even down to *showing* us something about the personality of a character, instead of forcing narrative exposition. Remarkably well done!
Also no ultra-shaky camera work with a million jarring jump cuts, imagine that!
(If you haven't seen my rant on that topic: youtu.be/tfQ2d4Dz6oM)
And of course it's neat to see them fighting with messers, an often overlooked type of medieval & renaissance weapon.
