Ridley Scott's "Duelists". Director, painter, storyboard artist. This film showcases all his abilities. Legend has it that Scott storyboards scenes upside down if he sits across from you. This scene takes place during Napoleon's failed Invasion of Russia. The main figure looks like an executioner over a pile of frozen dead French soldiers. The soldier's hats make them look like decapitated stumps in a cemetery. I tried to accentuate these points without screwing up Scott's masterful composition.
