The film “Napoleon”, by Ridley Scott, is already unleashing the French press, before its theatrical release. The director would have taken liberties with the real life of the emperor.
Napoleon and his army bombarding the pyramids of Egypt. This is one of the liberties that director Ridley Scott allowed himself. His new film, “Napoleon“, has not yet been released in cinemas, but it is already creating controversy. “Nothing is plausible. Neither the character, nor the story that is told”, explains historian Patrice Gueniffey. Stung, Ridley Scott responded to his detractors on November 19 in an interview with the BBC. “The French don’t even like themselves“, he said.
The film hits theaters this Wednesday
According to Caroline Vié, cinema journalist at 20 minutes, “at no time does his ‘Napoleon’ aim to learn about the real life of Napoleon, it is really a variation“. And added: “If you really want to know everything about Napoleon’s life, it is more reasonable to take a history book.” The film is due to be released this Wednesday, November 22 in theaters.
