What Waterloo Is About
Napoleon returns from exile, holds power briefly, and fights his last battle. The real event is the battle sequence: tens of thousands of actual soldiers were used as extras and the cavalry charges were filmed with no digital assistance, which could not be repeated now. Sergei Bondarchuk repeatedly lifts the camera until the frame becomes a map, so the shape of the battle can be followed. Rod Steiger plays a hesitant, ailing Napoleon rather than a hero. The dialogue scenes are weaker.
