B/W 16mm combining perfectly real and fictionalised newsreel-style clips.
Reminiscent of The Man in the High Castle with an unnecessary love story, its ending is predictable but satisfying.
Great score and soundtrack!

The film is basically a sequence of very carefully composed still shots (only once does the camera move).
This is coupled with a fantastic tale of morality vs. the “greater good” sustained by a very suitable sober acting.
Live-action shoujo grounded too strongly in light-hearted comedy, with a bit of unamusing horror.
Its bland story is balanced by “animesque” acting and enticing visuals (special mention to the flashbacks).
The Duellists (1977, Scott)
"The one man, played by Harvey Keitel, is a prisoner of his own hatred. He must kill or be killed. Keith Carradine plays the other man who is honor bound to fight. It is a fascinating story of man’s violence."
--- Ridley Scott
