Napoleon
Ridley Scott · 2023
Reports say Scott and cinematographer Dariusz Wolski ran about 8 to 11 cameras at once during battles. That approach lets the film cut between cavalry, cannons and faces without restaging anything. You feel the scale and the confusion of the fighting.
Where to see it: The Battle of Austerlitz: Napoleon watches from a hill as his army fights, and the enemy ends up drowning when his cannons fire on a frozen lake.
