Review: Excellent Historical Adventure - If you are in to historical drama, this film is an absolute gem. The anti-hero is a historical character so I will avoid spoilers as to his fate. Basically, he is a criminal who does a deal with the law enforcement authorities in Napoleon's Paris. In return for immunity, he agrees to help bring down or bring in criminals who have so far eluded the police. His methods prove brutal and effective as he goes about his mission, recruiting a diverse team of allies as he does so. His immunity is repeatedly dangled before him as an incentive and eventually he has to go up against an old and ruthless criminal accomplice. The story races along and comes to a satisfying end. However, what engaged my enthusiasm was the attention to historical detail. Paris looks suitable either dark and shabby or glorious and imperial depending where the scenes are set. Flintlock muskets and pistols emit a satisfying amount of smoke and do not automatically get reloaded, the shooter having to go through the rig-ma-role of cartridge and ramrod or pick up another weapon. The costumes are brilliantly done. Everyone wears a hat (something a lot of historical dramas before the 1960s tend to overlook) and the uniforms are rendered in excellent historical detail. (The Emperor's escort is reproduced with spectacular accuracy and the correct, though obscure unit is guarding the Ministry of Police.) The fighting is realistic, bloody and exhausting for the combatants. Even Napoleon gets a realistic and believable cameo. In short, this is a brilliant production that shows, like Peter Weir's 'Master and Commander', just because you take pains over the historical detail does not mean that you cannot have a pacey, entertaining thriller. This gets my strongest recommendation. Review: Atmospheric story - Well cast characters, beautiful film settings and wonderful costumes. A slight shortcoming: over dramatized acting. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07X13ZH7X | | Aspect Ratio | Unknown | | Best Sellers Rank | 31,508 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 886 in Historical (DVD & Blu-ray) 2,820 in Crime (DVD & Blu-ray) 3,876 in Thriller (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Country of origin | United Kingdom | | Customer reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (257) | | Director | Jean-François Richet | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | Manufacturer reference | 5060262857960 | | Media Format | Dolby, PAL | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 1.7 x 12 x 16.1 cm; 70 g | | Release date | 7 Oct. 2019 | | Run time | 2 hours | | Studio | Signature Entertainment | ## Images ![The Emperor of Paris [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91mY49LWECL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Historical Adventure *by A***N on 22 November 2019* If you are in to historical drama, this film is an absolute gem.

A slight shortcoming: over dramatized acting. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Emperor of Paris. *by J***� on 4 March 2022* A gritty historical drama set in early 19th century Paris in the latter days of Bonaparte`s reign; based on the real-life character Eugène-François Vidocq, who became the founder of the Sûreté nationale, it's a well-made and convincing story with excellent sets and locations that evoke the city of the period. A very fine cast, good cinematography and accurate period detail make this a satisfying and absorbing movie. The standard UK DVD release has no extras; it is – of course – a French film with English subtitles. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/170940792-the-emperor-of-paris-dvd](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/170940792-the-emperor-of-paris-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
