It shows the deeply personal side of Napoleon & that even when you have all the successes in a battlefield, you could feel like a loser. Your wife cheats on you, her family does not even notify you, when the love & admiration of his life passed away. The beautiful love letters are sold to pay bills & you are measured by your losses, not by your victories. Some lovers are loved, some just there to bear a child. The movie is well worth your time. 4/5
