Someone replaced Joaquin Phoenix’s face with Napoleon’s face:

From the promotional shots for the Napoleon (2023) film, dir. Ridley Scott.

Here is a clip of the coronation. Well…

I dunno.

Phoenix sounds like he’s trying to sound like Brando’s Godfather.

Thoughts?

Randomly remembered about Murat's cuteness in The Coronation of Napoleon. It's just me or he's kinda smiling?

Regency Era Court Dress

The dress and train are presented on separate manequins for conservation reasons.

This dress and its train (known in French as a queue de cour) were worn by the wife of the Conseiller d’Etat, Jean Bérenger (1767-1850) (Comte de l’Empire in 1808), during the ceremony of the coronation of Napoleon I. The dress is in ivory silk, delicately embroidered with silver and gold thread. On the shoulders there are small embroideries in ivory tulle. The train is made of scarlet velvet silk with a lining of white satin.
