A History of Violence (2005)
Directed by David Cronenberg
influenced by The Return of Martin Guerre (1982)
Plot
Loosely based on the graphic novel of the same name, "Violence" also seems to borrow some of its story elements from the French classic "The Return of Martin Guerre," in which a long-lost husband and father suddenly returns home to his family, much to the surprise of his wife, who isn't entirely certain he's the man she married years ago.
What do you get if you mix “Gladiator,” “The Return of Martin Guerre,” “Saving Private Ryan,” “Elizabeth,” “Troy,” “The Seventh Seal,” and a hundred buckets of mud?
It's a hint of of The Return of Martin Guerre , a touch of The Taming of the Shrew in the sparring relationship between chestnut-haired Mistress Marion and the gruff, crusty-faced Robin with his cropped hair and leather tunic.
The Last Duel (2021)
Directed by Ridley Scott
influenced by The Return of Martin Guerre (1982)
Themes
(Another picture to which it might be compared is “The Return of Martin Guerre,” in which a woman’s possible deception is also an issue.)
