Napoleon (1-4) (Blu-ray)

Exiled on the Atlantic island of St. Helena, Napoleon Bonaparte, set by the English, spends his final days. Alone, he confides in 14-year-old Betzy, recounting the story of his life: an incredible tale of a young Corsican soldier's rise to become the powerful ruler of the European continent, marked by military campaigns and political intrigues, grand romances and dramatic affairs, glorious victories and devastating defeats - a breathtaking story that was to change the world forever.

Gérard Depardieu, who also portrays Police Minister Fouché, serves as the producer for this epic, which boasts lavish visual elements: 20,000 extras create impressive battle scenes, while elaborate costumes and authentic filming locations convincingly evoke the historical atmosphere. The star-studded ensemble delivers an outstanding performance, paving the way for Christian Clavier to shine in the lead role. The Asterix actor draws upon the full range of his talents, proving that he has more to offer than just comedic antics.
