    With some excellent staging, fine cinematography and first-rate acting, the film largely overcomes the awe it demonstrates for its principal character and succeeds in creating a mystery where perhaps there is none.

    An elegant, sophisticated mystery.

    Even when the script takes a turn for the chatty, there's always something pretty to look at.

    The second half of Antoine de Caunes' Monsieur N., about the post-exile life and death of Napoleon, plays less like a movie than a suggestion for one. This is a great disappointment because the first half is very cinematic and very compelling.

    Beautiful to watch but script plods & steps on it's wank for more than 2 hours. I'll never get those 2 hours back!
