NAPOLEON (DISC 2): PART 3 A TIME OF CONFLICT / PART 4 A FALL FROM GRACE (2002)

YVES SIMONEAU

Plot

The second half of an exhaustive and lush dramatisation of Napoleon Bonaparte, from ambitious Corsican soldier at the end of the 18th Century, to his imprisonment on the Island of St Helena by the British, less than twenty years later. If anything "Napoleon" is almost overly dramatic, but it's still an enthralling look at the great man, both publicly and privately, his military achievements, and the turning of a divided France into the most powerful nation in the Western world.
