Ridley Scott's ‘Napoleon’ is an Epic Satirical Portrait
Kelsi and Trey discuss Ridley Scott and his cinematic exploration of deconstructing the biggest of ideas--maybe too big. Scott is back at 86-years-old with Napoleon, a film both fascinated and terrified by the fragility of powerful men. We unpack Scott's artistic mission and how successful his satirical vision of Napoleon is. Also, Joaquin Phoenix is hilariously anti-charismatic and Vanessa Kirby is electric--great performances.
