Summary

File information
Description	Napoléon, with English intertitles. 2K restoration by Kevin Brownlow in conjunction with the BFI National Archive and the Cinémathèque française. This version is based on many incomplete surviving copies of the film. Color tinting and toning are by Joao Oliveira of the BFI National Archive, reproducing the look of the original Pathé processes. Intertitles are translated from the French version and reconstructed to match the typography of the original French intertitles. The original film was presented as a single fullscreen projection until the final act, which used a three-channel projection (known then as Polyvision). This version replicates that configuration within a 16:9 aspect ratio, by pillarboxing the single-channel sections and letterboxing the three-channel section.
