Why watch this film?
If there's one cinema that Netflix has its eye on, it's the Asian one. From India to Japan and all the way to China, the streaming service is showing an appetite for the region and all the possibilities that its cinema has to offer. The exclusive Korean feature film 'Yaksha: Ruthless Operations' is yet another proof of this. The plot dives into the world of secret operations and, drawing from the source of martial arts films, talks about what goes on behind the scenes in this little-known universe full of action.

Napoleon
After two frustrated attempts to bring Napoleon Bonaparte's complete story to the big screen, one by French filmmaker Abel Gance and another by the brilliant Stanley Kubrick, director Ridley Scott finally conquers this curse with Napoleon, one of the great productions of 2023. His Napoleon, a production of Sony and Apple, arrives with all the pomp possible: it's an epic of over 2 and a half hours, with grand battle scenes that never try to abbreviate the journey of the French emperor at any point. The film begins with his victory at the Siege of Toulon, one of the most impressive battles in history, until his downfall at Waterloo. It's the complete life, supported on a very complicated tripod: the military front of Napoleon's life, with all those battles that shook Europe; the political front, with his unexpected rise to the French throne even after the French Revolution; and one of his most curious aspects falls on his love life, with a passion for Josephine (Vanessa Kirby). Right from the start, thus, it becomes even a bit obvious what the Achilles' heel of this immense Scott production is: the need to cover too long a period of Napoleon's life, who did too much in life, in just 2 and a half hours. Perhaps, a much more precise cut in the script by David Scarpa (Scott's partner in All the Money in the World) is missing, which ends up getting tangled in too much story to tell. It's politics, it's family, it's war, it's romance, it's betrayal. Fortunately, the cast helps to diminish the feeling that things are falling apart: Joaquin Phoenix (Joker) plays a Napoleon who brings his insecurities embedded in his trembling and stuttering voice, always wanting to prove himself; and Kirby, who had already shone in Pieces of a Woman, once again delivers a magnetic performance, convincing as the seductive Josephine. Not to mention the impressive war scenes, which help set the tone and show that Scott, even if he occasionally errs, still knows how to make good cinema.
