Saddle up, Napoleon–heads (a group this author very much counts herself among)—our day is at hand. They tried to tear us down, they tried to cut two hours of epic French glory and some of the most awkward sex scenes ever put to film, but today we ride. For today, we have been gifted the news that the Napoleon directors’ cut is finally here, streaming on Apple TV+. Vive le France!
After weeks (if not months) of speculation that Ridley Scott’s unabridged version of his film might someday be available, Apple TV shared the news on their Twitter/X account today with a video from the director himself. Scott (clearly rather uninterested in filming the bit) delivered the news that the version exclusively on the streamer contains 48 minutes of footage not seen in the theater.
You asked, he listened.
