NAPOLEON (2023) in 70mm
The latest period piece from director Ridley Scott is a sprawling, spectacle-filled epic that details the checkered rise and fall of notorious French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, played by Joaquin Phoenix. Bonaparte's obsessive and ruthless pursuit of victory on the battlefield — no matter the number of lives it will cost — is matched only by his addictive and volatile relationship with his one true love, Josephine (Vanessa Kirby). Thrilling and bloody set pieces, intensely brooding performances and a sly undercurrent of humor underline one of 2023's most devilishly entertaining films. DIR/PROD Ridley Scott; SCR David Scarpa; PROD Mark Huffam, Joaquin Phoenix, Kevin J. Walsh. U.S./UK, 2023, color, 157 min. RATED R
