The Napoleonic Wars

The Age of Napoleon
A powerful story of an era dominated by one remarkable man, the Emperor Napoleon, a man who has attracted more debate than almost any figure in history. Ruthless and despotic but an undoubted military genius, this atmospheric and informative DVD follows the Emperor from his early days, through the glorious victory at Austerlitz, to the disasters of the Russian campaign and his final defeat at Waterloo.
Superbly filmed reconstructions and re-enactments, period imagery and expert analysis explain the rise and fall of this famous man from history.
Narrated by Mike Leighton


The Battle of Waterloo 1815

A powerful account of the final defeat of the Emperor Napoleon
It was a battle which would change the face of Europe forever. A day of savage fighting which destroyed the dreams of Napoleon and freed the Continent from the threat of his vaulting ambitions.
Yet it could all have been so different, for the outcome of the great battle was determined by a handful of fateful decisions and desperate actions.
The spectacular DVD tells the story of the final thunderous encounter of the Napoleonic era.
Featuring stunning experts from major feature films, specially-filmed authentic reconstructions and re-enactments, and dramatised "eye-witness" accounts. "The Battle of Waterloo 1815" provides a unique record of one of the turning points in world history.
Expert commentary and analysis comes from Dr.David Chandler author of "The Campaigns of Napoleon".
Narrated by Robert Powell

Napoleon The Early Years

Napoleon is the powerful story of the man who gave his name to an entire era.
From his birth in the Corsican capital of Ajjacio in August in 1769, Napoleon Bonaparte seems to have been marked down for greatness. This episode covers the all important years of Napoleon's life, right up to his capture of Toulon in 1793 and the infamous "whiff of grapeshot" where he fired upon and killed 200 rebellious French citizens to protect the government.

Napoleon The Early Campaigns

The Man... The Myth... The Legend...
Marriage to Josephine Rose de Beauharnais did little to quell Napoleon's vaulting ambition. Now he had the opportunity to display his burgeoning military talents, which he showed to full effect during the stunning first Italian campaign. This episode covers the Italian campaign plus the invasion of Egipt and the battle of the pyramids, ending with Napoleon,s rise to First Consul in 1779.


Life under Napoleon
A conqueror shapes Europe

Episode 1. The Conqueror
Episode2. The Revolutionary
Episode3. The Overreacher
Episode4. The Fall of Napoleon

Perfume, cognac, champagne, wax figures, busts - wherever we look, we find the French emperor's legacy. Laws, customs, machines, figures of speech; many have their roots in the Napoleonic era. From the metric system and massive road construction projects; the Louisiana Purchase to the roots of today's European legal systems.

In four episodes we examine what life was like in Europe from 1799 until 1815, from the end of the French Revolution until Napoleon's defeat at Leipzig 1813 and Waterloo 1815. We show Napoleon's rise and fall exclusively from the point of view of the citizens of his time - blacksmiths, soldiers, farmers, dissidents, housewives - first hand accounts of life changing events, based on authentic historical material, diares, letters and court documents.
These don't speak of politics and alliances but about blood and tears, tyrany and hunger, about joy and freedom.


Napoleonic Battles
Double Volume 4

Austerlitz 1805
As the famous sun of Austerlitz rose through the pale mist on the morning of 2 December 1805, the stage was set for one of the most decisive battles of the Napoleonic era. By evening, the combined armies of Austria and Russia would be uttely destroyed. It was to be Napoleon's greatest victory, achieved by a commander at the very peak of his powers.

The Battle of Borodino
The Battle of Borodino took place during the Emperor Napoleon's disastrous Russian invasion of 1812 and was one of the most crucial battles of the entire Napoleonic era. The two sides met, just 60 miles from Moscow, on September 7th 1812. For a man who had earned a reputation as military genius, Napoleon failed to make the most of his long-awaided opportunity; he simply hurled his troops at the determined Russians. The result was the single biggest bloodbath of the Napoleonic wars more than 68 000 troops were killed or wounded.


Waterloo

One of the most infamous chapters of history is brought to life in this spectacular film from Academy Award winning director Sergei Bondarchuk. With an acclaimed international cast headed by Rod Steiger, Christopher Plummer and Orson Welles, WATERLOO tells the story of Napoleon Bonaparte - from his abdication and exile, his dramatic escape, his reunion with his devoted troops and Generals to his last, desperate bid for ultimate power and glory.
With meticulous attention to detail, outstanding performmances and stunning visuals, WATERLOO is a true motion picture epic set against a magnificent backdrop of battle and bloodshed.


The Duellists

Keith Carradine and Harvey Keitel star in this dramatic film about two officers in Napoleon's army who violently confront each other in series of duels. The duels begin as a reaction to a minor incident and escalate into a consuming passion that rules the lives of both men for a period of 15 years.
Based on Joseph Conrad's story, The Duellists explores the themes of obsessions, honour and violence.
This visually breathtaking film weaves a compelling story through to an unexpected outcome. It was awarded "Best Debut Film" at the 1977 Cannes Film Festival.

War and Peace

Leo Tolstoy's literary masterpiece comes to life in this epic film classic, featuring the talents of some of the greatest names from Hollywood's Golden Age. Starring Audrey Hepburn as Natasha, Henry Fonda as Pierre, and Mel Ferrer as Prince Andrei, War and Peace is a compelling Academy Award - nominated drama of international conflict, spectacular adventure, gripping intrigue and tragic romance set against the sweeping backdrop of Napoleon's invasion of Russia.

Napoleon

The epic tale of the man who changed the world.
For the first time ever, Napoleon the man and legend is depicted on screen in all of his facets: as a man of human needs and desires, strengths and weaknesses; as a soldier, politician and visionary who raised himself above his fellow mortals and transformed himself into a legend.
Napoleon is shown dealing with and manipulating power; loving, seducing and not infrequently betraying the women in his life; interacting with his tight-knit, highly demanding Corsican family; inspiring his armies to achieve the First Empire's most glorious conquests.
"Napoleon" sweeps away the pathos of previous portrayals and presents its subject in all his complexity and contradictions. It provokes questions and challenges common assumptions. It paints a portrait of Napoleon that respects the facts and despicts him as a man whose life can still move and inspire us all.

The name of Britain's most celebrated naval tactician is inextricably linked to "victory". Whether in reference to his famous ship or in memory of his many triumphs, Horatio Nelson lived a charmed existence upon the waves.
His life on dry land, however, was to prove less "victorious" and far more controversial as his personal dealings became something of a scandal. A maried man, yet openly flaunting his affair with Lady Emma Hamilton, wife of Lord Hamilton, Nelson caused outrage in both London society and within the higher echelons of the navy.

* The Battle of Borodino

With the Peninsular War still raging, Napoleon made a fateful decision in 1812 when he turned his attentions east and the Grand Army began an invasion of Russia. Nothing could have prepared them for what lay ahead as they marched slowly towards Moscow. Little did they know that of the half a million men who crossed the Russian border, fewer than fifty thousand would ever see their homeland again. This episode tells the story of Napoleon's greatest mistake - his ill-fated Russian adventure that spelt the beginning of the end for the Emperor. The episode includes the story of the bloody Battle of Borodino and the appalling horrors of the French retread from Moscow.

* The Continental System
* March on Spain
* Sapping of morale
* War on two fronts

Up until 1807, Napoleon's life and career had been an almost uninterrupted tale of success - but things were beginning to unravel. The Emperor's determination to impose the "Continental System" on the whole of Europe was the driving force behind the decision to invade Spain and Portugal, known to posterity as the Peninsular War. A further headache presented itself in form of a revitalised and remodelled Austrian army, a force that was to inflict Napoleon's first decisive defeat on the battlefield. Family matters both home and aboard were also starting to cause Napoleon some problems, as his fortunes slowly began to wane.

Napoleon - Imperial Zenith

* Internal Affairs
* Legion D'Honneur
* The Battle of Ulm
* The Battle of Austerlitz
* Auerstadt

By the year 1800, Napoleon's political career was in full swing but as First Consul he was hardly a man of the people - stroke of outrageous good fortune he even survived an assassination attempt on Christmas Eve 1800. This gave him the perfect excuse to eliminate several political enemies and tighten his grip on a tumultuous nation. This episode covers Napoleon's golden era - his rise to Emperor in 1804 and his remarkable military victories at Austerlitz, Eylau and Ulm. By 1808 the Emperor of France was just a short step away from becoming the Emperor of Europe.
