`` Liar and a Dreamer''

 

  This is a curious film.  My impression is that there were several films mashed together here. The private life of Napoleon and Josephine. A battle of Waterloo film, and a Napoleon biopic  Sony had the money for all three, or selected bits it liked-It looks beautiful in that cold and sparse way modern movies do.  1 Phoenix sounds like the Joker. Particularly when he whines. Bonaparte also uses an Americanism write me in the script. Which sticks out  2. They don't investigate the idea that Josephine was a dark influence on Napoleon.

  I was in Ecuador about 11 years ago. I went on a border run.  I am sorry to hear the attacks on the people and police of the country. I met many people from Ecuador in Peru as a teacher.
