[Opens Nov. 22 in theaters.] Spectacular cinematography, sets, and costumes dominate Ridley Scott's riveting, factually inspired, gritty, action-packed, well-written, superbly acted, multifaceted, violent, star-studded (Rupert Everett, Tahar Rahim, Ludivine Sagnier, Matthew Needham, Ben Miles, Édouard Philipponnat, Paul Rhys, Catherine Walker, John Hollingworth, Philip Marsden, and Mark Bonnar), 158-minute film, which is sprinkled with poetic license, that focuses on the career and tumultuous life of ambitious, brilliant military and political strategist French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte (Joaquin Phoenix) (1769-1821) as he quickly rises to power in the late 1790s from brigadier general, who ended up serving in 61 battles, to being crowned king and his volatile relationship with his true love feisty, free-spirited Joséphine de Beauharnais (Vanessa Kirby).
