As The Last Duel finally arrives in cinemas Jodie Comer talks to Stylist about how the medieval epic holds up a mirror to modern society

so many incredible things that have tackled really difficult subjects. We were so lucky to have her on board, and so it was having conversations with her about what I was comfortable with, what I wasn’t. The night before shooting those scenes, Adam and I went to set with Ridley and blocked out the physicality of it. Then the next day me and Adam had a conversation and said: if there’s anything that either of us aren’t comfortable with, we’ll let each other know.

For any woman, at any time, to speak out in the way that she did is hugely admirable. But especially when you look at the history of that time: what happened to her wasn’t considered a crime against a woman, it was considered a crime against her minder, her husband. And he would actually, more times than not, be compensated with money for the embarrassment that his wife had caused by coming out and speaking this way.

That’s why we had to be very careful in how we told this story because there are going to be many people who watch this and relate to it in some way. I think the saddest thing is, and you could say that for any decade that’s gone by, is that we have come so far but yet there really is still so much more to do. It’s a Ridley film and it’s such a spectacle and it’s so visually beautiful, but at the heart of it is a woman’s fight for justice.

The film premiered in Venice with a full red carpet. How did that feel after such a long time of staying at home wearing comfy clothes? It was amazing! It was so much fun to see the team. Plus, the last time I was in Venice I was a kid, so I can’t remember it nor did I probably appreciate it as much as I should have. I felt present, I felt calm. Sometimes I can get a bit nervous and get lost in it all, but I felt present which was so nice.
