Ridley Scott has spent the past 15 years making some of the most divisive films of his career. From 2012's Prometheus and 2017's Alien: Covenant to even stranger films like The Counselor, the current chapter of his filmography has been marked by surprising artistic choices. Last November, that trend continued when he released his latest historical epic, Napoleon, a Joaquin Phoenix-led blockbuster that explores the ups and downs of Napoleon Bonaparte's military career and his turbulent marriage to his first wife, Josephine (Vanessa Kirby).
