| Summary |
"This quasi-historical thriller opens in 1840 on the island of Saint Helena. A coffin is exhumed and opened in a downpour. Witnesses pronounce the occupant to be a well-preserved Napoléon Bonaparte. The story, told in voice-over by Basil Heathcote, Napoléon's official guard, then backtracks to June 1815 when 20-year-old Heathcote arrived on Saint Helena under the command of no-nonsense Sir Hudson Lowe. As governor of the remote British outpost, Lowe's chief responsibility is to make certain that the island's most notorious prisoner does not escape. Directed by Antoine de Caunes, and stars Philippe Torreton and Richard E. Grant. (From France, in French and English, English subtitles) (Thriller) (2003)" -- website |
