Breathing life into the story of French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte was never going to be easy, especially for an Englishman. Director Ridley Scott’s version incorporates masterful battles scenes with a tortured love story between Napoleon and Josephine. After its worldwide release on Wednesday, it seems the war of the film critics and historians has only just begun.
Ridley Scott's "Napoleon" traces the fortunes of France's most famous historical figure, from his rise among the ashes of the French Revolution through his incredible military victories to his eventual defeat and exile.
