duccio: (Default)
Complete restoration of Abel Gance's 1927 NAPOLEON with new exalted soundtrack by Carl Davis, my favorite, performed live at the Oakland Paramount Theater. Five and a half hours long, three intermissions, includes dinner. I have a video copy that is three hours twenty five minutes long with the disappointing Coppola soundtrack.

Watch the trailer full screen. Have any of you ever seen this film?
