Press Comments
La Capitale
Un vrai cours d'histoire, pédagogique et spectaculaire.
Le Mad
Surprise, et elle est bonne : voici un documentaire extrêmement bien fichu, alliant l'intelligence pédagogique à l'art du suspense, incarné par le duel Wellington-Napoléon.
Le Figaro
Arte nous propulse, grâce à un docu-ficton captivant, sur le champ de bataille de la plus célèbre défaite de l'histoire militaire, expliquée par des spécialistes et reconstituée de manière très réaliste.
