- Synopsis:
- Flashing back from the translation of Napoleon's corpse to Les Invalides, the film condenses Bonaparte's stay on St Helena into a few key confrontations and evasions. But rather than simply focusing on the battle of wills between Philippe Torreton and island governor, Richard E. Grant, the screenplay also examines the motives of those who shared the deposed Emperor's exile - thus allowing De Caunes to flit inticingly between mystery, romance and intrigue. Handsomely designed and photographed, impeccably played and both satisfyingly complex and ingeniously plausible.
