Napoleon film - review...

 

 

 

   I watched the new Biographical Film on Napoleon I Bonaparte recently. 

   Despite the half-hour of commercials, the film seemed a bit short in the beginning.  There was not much focus on the Egyptian campaign, just a visit to a tomb with the opening of a mummy case (Napoleon had to use a stepping stone to view the mummy) and shots on the Pyramids (which did not happen in reality).  

There were sexual scenes with Empress Josephine (whom he didn't produce an heir with).  The two islands where he was exiled to did not show much scenery (Elba, & St. Helena).  Most of the film was separated between talking and battles.  I think the costumes may have an award for accuracy.  

MC 2023.
