Waterloo
This presentation of ‘Waterloo’, a film by Karl Grune about the last hurrah of Napoleon, is a fascinating companion to the Abel Gance epic ‘Napoleon’. ‘Waterloo’ presents a tale of several people involved in the final battle. Napoleon and Wellington, of course, but also the Austrian general Blutcher (who is seen as a ladies’ man – his scene with a flirty Countess about halfway through the film is priceless; as are his touching scenes with his plain wife (who he imagines to be a young and nubile girl when they get romantic) and some people within his regiment. Not simply a film of war, ‘Waterloo’ is a story of people, of lovers, of lost opportunities.
