Napoleon
Directed by Abel Gance
Produced by Société Westi, Ciné France
A visually ambitious silent historical epic that traces Napoleon's rise through the chaos of revolution with formal grandeur and symbolic montage.
A biopic of Napoleon Bonaparte, tracing the Corsican's career from his schooldays (where a snowball fight is staged like a military campaign) to his flight from Corsica, through the French Revolution (where a real storm is intercut with a political storm) and the Terror, culminating in his triumphant invasion of Italy in 1797.
