Classic drama very compelling
Long neglected French director, Abel Gance, is best remembered for his audacious Napoleon, a classic drama of the silent era.
In Austerlitz (Optimum, 24.99), he again returns to Napoleon, but this time 33 years later, and also with sound!
This epic work concentrates on the general consolidating his power and provoking the European powers to respond.
A captivating work that is very compelling.
The final battle scene, the focus of the only special feature, is excellent.
