If you want to do something fun tonight, I urge you to download Ridley Scotts debut film The Duellists (set during the Napoleonic Wars, but filmed on a tiny budget around Sarlat-la-Canéda in the Dordogne region of France). Based on a short story by Joseph Conrad, its notable for its psychological acuity, and (for those who care about film-making itself) how much you can suggest of a huge historical canvas with a budget of less than $1million. It won best debut film at Cannes in 1977. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Duellists
