Napoléon (1927)
De ses débuts à l’École militaire de Brienne (1783) au début de la Campagne d’Italie (1796), « Napoléon vu par Abel Gance » est conçu comme un livre d’images où se côtoient les personnages historiques de l’époque (Bonaparte, Danton, Robespierre, Marat, Joséphine de Beauharnais, Charlotte Corday, etc.) sous le regard de caractères de fiction (Tristan Fleury et sa fille Violine) ainsi que de la nombreuse figuration qui symbolise le peuple et l’armée. Brienne, le Club des Cordeliers, la Corse, la Siège de Toulon, la Convention, le Paris de la Révolution et de la Terreur, l’Italie sont autant de lieux qui marquent l’ascension de Napoléon vers les sommets de la gloire et du pouvoir.
