Hi.
I saw a french period drama when I was a kid.
I’d like to watch this movie again, but I can only remember one scene. Here’s how I remember it:
A swordmaster presents his student at the salle.
He gets ‘tested’ by another swordsman. Our hero wins the match by doing this sick move; he kind of flanks his opponent, and kicks his leg. The kick hits the back of this opponent’s knee on the up stroke, and strikes down on his hip on the down stroke, Karate style. By then, the swordsman is on his knees, with the student’s knife to his throat. A big argument breaks out between the fencers who are shocked at the ‘dirty fighting’ and the swordmaster who defends it’s effectiveness.
Does anybody know this movie?
