From his beginnings at the Ecole Militaire de Brienne (1783) to the start of the Italian Campaign (1796), “Napoleon vu par Abel Gance” is conceived as a picture book in which the historical figures of the time (Bonaparte, Danton, Robespierre, Marat, Joséphine de Beauharnais, Charlotte Corday, etc.) stand side by side with fictional characters (Tristan Fleury and his daughter Violine), as well as the numerous extras who symbolize the people and the army. Brienne, the Club des Cordeliers, Corsica, the siege of Toulon, the Convention, the Paris of the Revolution and the Terror, and Italy are all places that mark Napoleon’s ascent to the heights of glory and power.
