A master-piece for BBC, 14 February 2009
Author: micru-1 from Malta

I started watching this film without too much consideration. I thought it would be something too much ''teatrical''. I judged wrongly. This is a masterpiece for a BBC production. The story keeps you always on the ''alert'', the visuals are stunning as if you were in France of those days, the acting is surprisingly good.

The way how Bonaparte is depicted is somehow different from what we are accustomed to see in other films about Napoleon. The streets of southern France are so genuine, the architecture is impressive,... I would recommend this 'documentary' to those in search of an hour of pure eye-leisure
