Napoleon & Love DVD Review




I have always been a sucker for a historical film. Make it a mini series and I know I am going to be hooked. That is exactly what happened with me and Napoleon & Love. Once I started watching this additive series, I couldn't stop until I had watched all nine episodes back to back.  The combination of a powerful story line filled with historical facts and stunning costume design left me glued to my seat.




We have all learned the basics about Napoleon, the man who single handedly conquered almost the whole of Europe. You may have even heard of Napoleon and his one great love, Josephine. But Josephine was only one notch on a very impressive belt when it comes to Napoleon's love life.  There was also Desiree, Pauline, Georgina, Eleanore, Marie Louise and more. This amazing series will show you a side of the conqueror you have never seen before. The series follows him through his campaigns and his love affairs, adding a whole new dimension to a timeless story.

Oscar nominee Ian Holm (The Lord of the Rings) leads the cast in the staring role and gives an amazing performance. Also joining the cast are Peter Bowles as Caption Murat and Billie Whiteclaw as Josephine.  This British Drama has aired on both PBS & A & E with rave reviews. If you are a fan of historical romance, this is a box set you have to purchase.

In addition to the full set of  nine episodes, the DVD set also includes a time line of historical events and cast filmographies. If you want to get the advantage of a full set of amazing love stories that will leave you on the breathless, than this is the box set for you. You can order Napoleon & Love  for only $59.99 at Acorn Media.
