  • "Presents the rise of Napoleon I as a response to the conditions following the Revolution of 1789. Shows his embodiment of the ideals of the Revolution and ends with him on the verge of spreading those ideals throughout Europe - by means of war. A near-complete restoration of Gance's silent epic, the film remains an innovative, spectacular achievement, with its use of multiple split screens, montage, color and triptychs."
  • "Francis Ford Coppola painstakingly resurrected this enthralling epic silent film about the early career of Napoleon Bonaparte. Gance is credited with use of the split screen, moving camera, and Polyvision."@en
  • ""The chef d'ouevre of legendary French filmmaker Abel Gance, Napoleon was supposed to have been the first installment in a multipart film study of the French military hero. Each of the film's set pieces is treated like a movie in itself: the opening pillow fights and snowball battles, staged while Napoleon is still a schoolboy (played by Russian youth Vladimir Roudenko), are choreographed on a scale worthy of D.W. Griffith. The plot proper begins with Napoleon's adult years. From home island of Corsica, Lt. Napoleon (played as an adult by Albert Dieudonné, and old friend of Gance's) decides to side with the Republic during the French Revolution. He quickly proves his mettle in a preliminary skirmish with the British. Offered the office of commander of Paris, Napoleon declines: he does not subscribe to Reign of Terror, nor does he believe in doing battle against Frenchmen. He is thrown in prison, where he meets his wife-to-be Josephine; thanks to a series of governmental upheavals, both are set free. For the next few years, France's bureaucratic bean-counters and pencil-pushers constantly thwart Napoleon's dreams of glory. The film's climax is Napoleon's rallying of the dispirited French troops and his subsequent advance into Italy"--AllRovi WWW site, viewed August 2, 2011."
