Abel Gance’s heroic depiction of the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte is an
undisputed cinema landmark. Famed for its groundbreaking technical
innovations – including its famous triptych finale – and a running time
of 5 ½ hours, Gance’s epic traverses many of the formative experiences
that shaped Napoleon’s rapid advancement. Cool under pressure, Bonaparte
overcomes fierce rivals, the deadly Terror and political machinations
to seal his imperial destiny. Monumental and visionary, the story’s
chapters play out in exhilarating fashion tied together by an incredible
feat of editing and technical ingenuity. Featuring an equally mammoth
score composed and conducted by Carl Davis (newly recorded in 7.1), this
definitive digital restoration presents this silent masterpiece in all
its grandiose glory.
