An Epic Life
In 1795, he was an unpaid general consumed with ambition. In 1816 he was a bitter exile on the remote island of St. Helena. In the years between, he was the most powerful man on earth.
From the campaign that transformed the Corsican outsider into a French hero to his bitter, final defeat at Waterloo, Napoleon charts the course of the man who defied centuries of tradition and forced his will upon a continent. Adapted by Didier Decoin (Les Miserables, Jakob the Liar) from Max Gallo's bestselling novel, this epic production explores the private struggles, political intrigues and bloody battles that marked Napoleon's tempestuous rise and rule.
Directed by Yves Simoneau (Nuremberg, Amelia Earhart), Napoleon boasts an extraordinary international cast featuring Christian Clavier, Isabella Rossellini, Gerard Depardieu and John Malkovich.
