I've rarely seen a heavier assault of 1-bombing on IMDb:

Looks like it had a rating of 8.7 (!) not too long ago. Such a thing hitting the Top 250 would certainly upset some fake-voting imbeciles.

Have to see it yet - I'm not a fan of Napoléon as a historical figure and don't know when to try a 5-hour-silent-film in one sitting. :|

it was designed to be projected on three screens like a triptych. It could never be viewed on a DVD or with television screens it has to be presented with three projectors and three screens. It's only been properly shown in the US fewer than half a dozen times.

This is being screened in the US for the first time in decades in the newest restored version. Carl Davis conducting his musical score live, triptych ending properly projected. No further US dates planned.

Tickets available now. Hell of an opportunity.
