Napoleon

Synopsis

"Follow young Napoleon Bonaparte's (Christian Clavier) ascent from a simple Corsican soldier to the most powerful man on earth in this epic miniseries that features an all-star cast, including Emmy nominee John Malkovich as diplomat Charles Talleyrand. The tale goes beyond the battlefield to examine the political intrigue, personal struggles and complicated romances that marked Napoleon's rise to power -- and the eventual disintegration of his empire." [Netflix] "The story begins with his meeting of Josephine de Beauharnais, his future wife and Empress. Later, it focuses on Napoleon's military involvement as the Vicount of Barras' chief of staff in neutralizing Royalist forces, followed by his seizure of the French throne, declaring himself Emperor, and waging war on all of Europe."
