Netherland’s nightmare (& Europe’s), as well as Argentina, Madagascar, Ecuador …Gaza’s costs…China’s hopes…Abe Lincoln’s Thanksgiving 1863 and Evan Gershkowitz aspirationally.
Absolutely planning to see 'Napoleon'... French don't care for the way Joaquin played Bonaparte ....but that's Joaquin (& Ridley!) .... still, Manohla Dargis adored the film and that's enough for me!
I am not a big Napoleon aficionado but he WAS the one who created the Legion d'Honeur and I have actually seen the first such medallion he awarded....not really SO different from the one Macron awarded to me!!
So, in that respect, I do have a certain affection for the ol' Napoleon !!
Excellent world roundup David. You covered it all. Missing but you’re not a film critic Ridley Scott’s “Napoleon.” His new movie has ruffled French feathers. Are you planning to see it?
