200 years after the death of the legendary French emperor, he is still considered one of the best and most successful military commanders in the history of the world. His battle patterns are analyzed in military schools to this day, and his dizzying flight to and fall from the pinnacle of politics and power still takes the breath away and ignites the imagination.
The new film from the legendary director Ridley Scott tells about the intrigue, cruelty, courage and audacity of Napoleon's (Oscar-winning actor Joaquin Phoenix) way to the top of glory through the eyes of his beloved wife, Empress Josephine (Vanessa Kirby). The chilling, merciless political games are replaced like a kaleidoscope by the breathtaking battles of the emperor in what is undoubtedly one of the most impressive big screen films of this year.
