Critic Reviews
-
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
The experience it provides - at times, akin to taking a drug - is unlike anything I've ever experienced in a movie theater.
-
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Apart from the fireworks the film is blocky, arrhythmic, and resolutely superficial.
-
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
In this case the form itself is equal to the subject. For Gance and for Napoleon, there are no small gestures.
-
Sean Axmaker, Parallax View
... a cinematic experience like no other.
-
, Film4
Every bit as remarkable now as it was in its day.
