Review of Monsieur N. (2003) by Frédéric B — 04 Jan 2009
This movie is an alternative explanation to the final act of Napoleon's life.
The examination of the intimate details of the final years of Napoleon's and his relationships within the exile group are worth the price of admission alone. Acceptance of the alleged outcome does not change the quality of the film.
The main female characters in the carry the film. In particular, Elsa Zylberstein though a commendable performance from Siobhan Hewlett should be noted.
Richard E. Grant as the martinet gaoler Sir Hudson Lowe was not particularly convincing.
