Napoleon – The Film

Let’s delve into the intricacies of the film “Napoleon.” Joaquin Phoenix takes on the role of Napoleon Bonaparte, with Vanessa Kirby portraying his wife, Josephine. The movie primarily delves into their romantic relationship while also aiming to capture pivotal moments from Napoleon’s expansive military career. Over a period of less than ten years, Napoleon led the French army in a revolution against other European superpowers and successfully dismantled the Holy Roman Empire following their defeat at Austerlitz.

However, despite his military prowess, Napoleon faced significant setbacks during his invasion of Russia. These scenes depict his arrival in Moscow, a city eerily empty at the time. Subsequently, the city was plunged into flames and widespread destruction.
