Napoléon (1927) es una película muda épica francesa dirigida por Abel Gance que cuenta la historia del ascenso de Napoleón I de Francia.
Esta película es una de las 45 películas elegidas por el Vaticano.
Trama
Comienza con su vida en el colegio, donde organiza una guerra de bolas de nueve como si fuera una campaña militar, hasta su victoria al invadir Italia en 1797. Planeada como la primera de seis películas que narrarían la vida de Napoleón Bonaparte, tras su estreno se supo que debido a los grandes costos de producción, la serie de películas no sería posible.
Ahead of its time in its use of handheld cameras and editing, many scenes were hand tinted or toned. Gance had intended the final reel of the film to be screened as a triptych via triple projection, or Polyvision.
It was first released in a gala premiere at the Paris Opéra in April 1927. Napoléon had been screened in only 8 European cities when Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer bought the rights to the film, but after screening it intact in London, it was cut drastically in length, and only the central panel of the widescreen sequences retained before it was put on limited release in the United States, where it was indifferently received at a time when talkies were just starting to appear.
