*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
This film is a rare gem. It focuses on Napoleon Bonaparte's exile in Saint Helene island. Very interesting indeed. Talkative without being boring, it explains some things about the character. How he feels when he watches his glorious past, his thoughts about his failures, his successes. His life. The characters study is well made. The shooting was probably on location and splendidly done.
I did not know the actor who plays the title role, but he is great in this one. He reminds me Rod Steiger, of course.
It is really worth something. Don't miss it if you can.
Even if you are not an historian. This film is hard to find.
