Napoleon Classic Film by Abel Gance

The “Napoleon” classic film by Abel Gance has at last been released on DVD. This movie was made in 1927 and it is an absolute masterpiece of cinema! Unlike the horrible piece of “crapola” shot by Ridley Scott two years ago…

This is not just for history or Napoleon fans, this is for all movie aficionados. Considering the film is almost a century old, it was ground-breaking and ages ahead of its time: hand-held camera, cameras mounted on horses, superimposed images, dynamic movie editing… Spoiler alert: the final scene used three screens to create a widescreen effect…

The original 7hrs version has undergone restoration for some 16 years and was shown in theatres in France last year. The DVD is finally here!
