The extended cut would feature more of Josephines life before she meets Napoleon.
The film feels like that.
Its kind of peculiar, and theres an intensity in that.

Napoleon wasnt stoic and wonderful like Russell Crowe was inGladiator.
He was a dictator, a war criminal, really.
To get an empire, for what?
In the end, it all disintegrated anyway.
That psyche run wild is dangerous as hell, and very strange.
And this is a portrait of that.
