Saw Ridley Scott’s Napoleon tonight with Kristyn. The battle sequences are certainly exhilarating (though the brutality of that style of warfare makes me borderline nauseous). Overall, an entertaining film, but I left feeling a little let down. Phoenix’s performance seemed a bit of a rehash of previous characters. Also, Napoleon’s motivations remained opaque to me throughout. For a character study, Napoleon didn’t help me get inside the head of this complicated figure.
