NAPOLEON - VERS.ORIG.SOTT.

Trama

The movie will follow Napoleon's rise to power and the vicissitudes of his relationship with his wife, Empress Joséphine. In an interview with Deadline, Scott said: “Napoleon is a man I've always been fascinated by. He came out of nowhere to rule everything—but all the while he was waging a romantic war with his adulterous wife Joséphine. He conquered the world to try to win her love, and when he couldn't, he conquered it to destroy her, and destroyed himself in the process.” Although not many specific details of the film's plot are known, the life of Napoleon is, of course, well documented. He was born on Corsica, an island off the coast of France, to a family of minor Italian noble descent. Corsica was an independent territory until it was conquered by the French the year Napoleon was born. His family had fought against France in the war, and as a young family, he was passionately in favor of Corsican independence. Napoleon only began learning French at the age of ten and, as it was his third language, never fully mastered it. He retained a distinctive Corsican accent his entire life and had poor spelling in the language.
