The film is an original and personal look at Napoleon Bonaparte's origins and his swift, ruthless climb to emperor, viewed through the prism of his addictive and often volatile relationship with his wife and one true love, Josephine.
The historians, critics and French had a ball criticising this but I did enjoy it. Even with the bewilderingly inconsistent decision of Ridley Scott and Co not worrying about the accents of the actors (Americas shouting 'Vive la France' doesn't quite work) most of the time but having other actors speak in one, it still successfully took me back to the 18th and 19th centuries. A light 3.5/5.
