Duelle

Duelle (Une quarantaine) is a 1976 French experimental fantasy drama film directed by Jacques Rivette. The main title is a neologistic feminine form for the noun "duel". The director-assigned English title is Twhylight, a combination of "twilight" and "why". The film stars Juliet Berto as the Queen of the Night who battles the Queen of the Sun (Bulle Ogier) over a magical diamond that will allow the winner to remain on earth, specifically modern-day Paris.

The film was the second in a planned quartet but the first to be filmed. It was followed by Noroît.

The stylistic model for the film was based on Val Lewton's The Seventh Victim.

The music, by pianist Jean Wiener, was improvised.
