Hero, rebel, warrior, dictator, charmer and genius: France’s most famous smallest man will soon get a new film: Napoleon. It promises to be a spectacular spectacle, although the British director of the film can already count on criticism now that he compares Napoleon with Hitler and Stalin. We talk about it with art historian Paul Rem.
Hero, rebel, fighter, ruler, seducer and genius: France’s most famous little man will soon be coming to the big screen in a new film entitled “Napoleon.” It promises to be an impressive spectacle, but the British director of the film is already under criticism for comparing Napoleon to Hitler and Stalin.
In France they are angry. Why? “If anyone has to make a film about Napoleon, the French should do it. And they didn’t do that,” says art historian Paul Rem. “Now England has done that. There was a kind of arch-enmity between France and England in the late 18th century, and it is now flaring up.”
