How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A silent historical epic that uses formal visual innovation to chart Napoleon's rise from outsider to military genius, interweaving intimate character moments with sprawling battle sequences and revolutionary tumult. Watching it is like observing history through a kaleidoscope, technically audacious and monumentally scaled, yet surprisingly attentive to the man beneath the myth.
