Part 2: Napoleon and the French Revolution (3H27, VO)
Discover this masterwork projected for the first time since 1927! A constant object of fascination, shot by a visionary who wanted to reinvent cinema, Napoleon is a cursed epic of extraordinary duration, an experimental monument to power and crazy inventiveness. The audacity and mastery, the genius and the nerve of impossible scenes with parallel montages, triptychs, attempts of superposition and echoes have become unforgettable... A fresco between the grandiose and the intimate, not devoid of humor, where one shivers and the throat tightens. A masterpiece ab-so-lu.
