Napoleon is a 2023 epic historical drama film directed and produced by Ridley Scott and written by David Scarpa. Based on the story of Napoleon Bonaparte, primarily depicting the French leader's rise to power as well as his relationship with his wife, Josphine, the film stars Joaquin Phoenix as Napoleon and Vanessa Kirby as Josphine.
In October 2020, Scott announced Napoleon as his next project. Following delays and recastings due to the COVID-19 pandemic, filming began in February 2022 in England, lasting several months. In addition to writer David Scarpa, frequent Scott collaborators included cinematographer Dariusz Wolski and editor Claire Simpson.

Napoleon premiered at Salle Pleyel in Paris on November 14, 2023, and was released in the United States and the United Kingdom on November 22, 2023, by Sony Pictures Releasing, before streaming on Apple TV+ at a later date. The film has grossed $207 million worldwide and received mixed reviews from critics (though mostly negative reviews in France), with praise for the battle sequences and performances, though it was criticized for its pacing, tone, and historical inaccuracies.
On October 14, 2020, the same day his film The Last Duel (2021) wrapped filming, Ridley Scott announced Napoleon, at that point provisionally called Kitbag, as his next project for 20th Century Studios, which he would direct and produce from a screenplay written by Scott's All the Money in the World (2017) collaborator David Scarpa. The film's working title was derived from the saying that "There is a general's staff hidden in every soldier's kitbag".[19]
On January 4, 2022, Comer revealed her departure from the film due to scheduling changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[27] Vanessa Kirby was announced as her replacement later that day.[28] On January 18, 2022, producer Kevin J. Walsh said the film had been retitled Napoleon.[29] In February, Tahar Rahim was added to the cast, in the role of Paul Barras.[30] The historian Lorris Chevalier, who worked on The Last Duel, became the historical advisor.[31]
Production began in February 2022.[30] The film features six major battle sequences, unlike Waterloo (1970), another film featuring Napoleon, that focused on a single battle.[32] Napoleon was shot under the working title Marengo, a reference to the Battle of Marengo (1800).[33] Filming took place in Lincoln, England in March 2022.[34] The crew reportedly spent a week to prepare Lincoln Cathedral, which stood in for Notre-Dame de Paris. Shooting took place in the cathedral on March 17 and 18, between 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.[35][36][37]
It was also shot in Malta for three weeks, starting in May 2022. Fort Ricasoli in Kalkara was transformed into the site of 1793's siege of Toulon, where Napoleon had his first victory.[45][46][47] The desert in the area of Merzouga in Morocco stood in for Egypt and the execution of Marie Antoinette was filmed at Peper Harow Park in Surrey.[48][49]The film was shot in just 62 days.[50]
For the film's theatrical release, Apple Original Films partnered with Sony Pictures Releasing, under their Columbia Pictures banner, to help exhibit the film worldwide.[52][53][54][55] It was released in cinemas first in the United States and the United Kingdom on November 22, 2023, before releasing on Apple TV+ at a later date.[56]
The film presents Napoleon as firing on the Pyramids of Giza, which never happened.[79] Cairo egyptologist Salima Ikram pointed out that Napoleon held the Sphinx and the pyramids in high esteem and used them as motivation for his troops. "He definitely did not take pot shots at them."[87] In an interview with The Times, Scott defended his depiction of the attack on the pyramids as being "a fast way of saying [Napoleon] took Egypt."[88]
Scott dismissed criticisms of the film's historical inaccuracies. "Napoleon dies then, ten years later, someone writes a book. Then someone takes that book and writes another, and so, 400 [sic] years later, there's a lot of imagination [in history books]. When I have issues with historians, I ask: 'Excuse me, mate, were you there? No? Well, shut the fuck up then.'"[91][92] Scott also declared, responding to French critics, that "the French don't even like themselves".[93][94]
The next couple of years is shaping up to be big for anyone who likes film/TV depictions of Napoleon Bonaparte. Ridley Scott has a 2023 movie based on the historical figure, which was previously called Kitbag, but now carries Napoleon as its title. Steven Spielberg is another well-known director getting in on the Napoleon action, with a limited series in development that's based on an unrealized Stanley Kubrick screenplay.
It might be enough to qualify as something of a pop culture resurgence for the famed French military commander and political leader whose life was naturally dramatic and conflict-filled enough for cinema. These upcoming projects are far from the only Napoleon-related media out there, as he's been depicted in countless films since the silent era, many of which have become classics.
There were a total of three Night at the Museum movies, with things escalating into denser and sillier territory with each installment. The series involves a large number of museum exhibits that magically come to life at night, and in the second film, Battle of the Smithsonian, various figures come to life and split into factions within the museum, leading to warfare.
Like Dsire, The Story of Mankind is another movie featuring Napoleon. The film was made in the 1950s and has mostly been forgotten about decades later, making it something that's less than amazing overall. Its premise is wild, as it involves the entire human race being put on trial by divine beings, with the court of sorts combing over various scenes from history involving various famous figures, more or less as evidence for the trial.
This allows The Story of Mankind to have a huge cast, with more than 20 historical figures featured throughout the film. One of them is Napoleon, played by a young Dennis Hopper some years before he became known for playing off-the-wall and intense villains. The Story of Mankind is a curious and messy film but an undeniably ambitious one that also features Abraham Lincoln, Moses, Joan of Arc, and William Shakespeare as characters, among many others.
Historical accuracy is not the order of the day here, but with Love and Death being a very tongue-in-cheek comedy, that's more than understandable. A comical depiction of Napoleon is on offer here, and he's a fairly prominent character in this film which also finds time to gently parody non-Russian European movies, like films by Ingmar Bergman. It's about what you'd expect from a Woody Allen historical comedy film, for better or worse.
In the film, he's portrayed by the late Ian Holm, who's probably best known for his roles in The Lord of the Rings movies as Bilbo Baggins, and his performance in the original Alien as Ash. His appearance in Time Bandits as Napoleon is a small one, thanks to the film's somewhat episodic nature, but it's nevertheless memorable.
Within the gargantuan filmography of Ridley Scott, there are plenty of remarkable (and some not-so-remarkable) historical epics, with 2023's Napoleon being the latest of these. Given the title, one shouldn't be surprised that it's about Napoleon Bonaparte, but viewers may be surprised - in a pleasant way - to see that Napoleon is one of the better epics Scott has directed.
Napoleon's role in the story is fairly limited, but he's still a key part of The Count of Monte Cristo's opening scenes. He's depicted in exile and near the end of his life, interacting with the main characters after they come upon the island he's exiled on, seeking medical assistance. It's a fictionalized event, of course, but it coincides with what happened to Napoleon in the final years of his life. As a historical adventure and drama film, The Count of Monte Cristo works well overall.
One of the most famous silent films of all time would have to be 1927's Napolon, which is sometimes given the full title: Napolon vu par Abel Gance (Napoleon as seen by Abel Gance). Abel Gance was a revolutionary filmmaker for his time, and Napolon is seen as his most ambitious and noteworthy film. It's a stunning achievement, considering its age, and is up there as one of the finest biopics of all time, without a doubt.
This epic goes for over five hours, covering much of Napoleon's early life and career. Gance was so ambitious that he originally intended this to be the first of six films about the historical figure, with the final one ending with Napoleon's death. There's no greater testament to how eventful Napoleon's life was than that more than five hours of film potentially only recounted one-sixth of it.
It's a movie that spares no expense regarding budget, runtime, or production, and it stands as perhaps the ultimate film/TV adaptation of the novel of the same name. For anyone who likes a good historical drama/war film, War and Peace is a must-watch, though those with a particular interest in Napoleon should brace themselves for his minimal screen time. Still, it's worth watching in any event, as this is one of the most spectacular (and lengthy) war epics of all time.
Jeremy is an omnivore when it comes to his movie-watching diet. He'll gladly watch and write about almost anything, from old Godzilla films to gangster flicks to samurai movies to classic musicals to the French New Wave to the MCU... well, maybe not the Disney+ shows.
His favorite directors include Martin Scorsese, Sergio Leone, Akira Kurosawa, Quentin Tarantino, Werner Herzog, John Woo, Bob Fosse, Fritz Lang, Guillermo del Toro, and Yoji Yamada. He's also very proud of the fact that he's seen every single Nicolas Cage movie released before 2022, even though doing so often felt like a tremendous waste of time. He's plagued by the question of whether or not The Room is genuinely terrible or some kind of accidental masterpiece, and has been for more than 12 years (and a similar number of viewings).
When he's not writing lists - and the occasional feature article - for Collider, he also likes to upload film reviews to his Letterboxd profile (username: Jeremy Urquhart) and Instagram account. 006ab0faaa
