Case Study No. 0758: Martino Papucci

N io e Napoleone - Trailer
1:46
1814. Napoleone condannato all'esilio sull'Isola d'Elba viene accolto dalla popolazione locale con grandi festeggiamenti. Tutti lo acclamano tranne uno: Martino Papucci, maestrino idealista e libertario figlio di una famiglia di commercianti di Portoferraio. Per vendicare gli ideali rivoluzionari traditi e i tanti giovani mandati al massacro sui campi di battaglia di tutta Europa, Martino sogna tutte le notti di ucciderlo, cosi quando gli viene offerto di diventare scrivano e bibliotecario dell'ex Imperatore accetta senza esitazione, meditando di ucciderlo. Ma l'impresa si rivela più complicata del previsto quando apprende che l'uomo tanto odiato è solo un essere che soffre, a metà tra il patetico e il genio.

"N (Io e Napoleone)"
2006

Elba island, 1814. Martino is a young teacher, idealist and strongly anti Napoleon, in love with the beautiful and noble Baroness Emily. The young man finds himself serving as librarian to the Great Emperor in exile, whom he deeply hates, yet soon begins recording Napoleon's memoirs, getting to know and learning to value the man behind the myth. Among seductions and affairs, expectations and fears, he will craft a precise portrait that nevertheless will not manage to hide a final, inevitable, disappointment.

Daniel Auteuil ... Napoleone Bonaparte
Elio Germano ... Martino Papucci
Monica Bellucci ... Baronessa Emilia Speziali

From fandango.com:

NAPOLEON AND ME (IO E NAPOLEONE), 2007, Cattleya, 110 min. Dir. Paolo Virzi.

In 1814 Napoleon (Daniel Auteuil) arrives at the island of Elba, where he has been sent into exile and welcomed enthusiastically by the common people. But there is one person who is not celebrating: the young Martino Papucci (Elio Germano), an idealist and libertarian teacher.

Martino hates the former Emperor, so when he is offered the opportunity of becoming the librarian of the new King of Elba, the young man accepts with the secret intent of at last committing the murder.

From kodak.com:

N marks the second collaboration between the renowned Tuscan Director Paolo Virzì (Ovosodo, Ferie d'agosto, Baci e abbracci) and Director of Photography Alessandro Pesci, AIC (La seconda volta, Baci e abbracci, La lingua del Santo). The ambitious Italian, French and Spanish co-production is set in 1814 during Napoleon Bonaparte's exile on the island of Elba.

The film explores the relationship between Napoleon (played by Daniel Auteuil) and Martino Papucci (Elio Germano), a young teacher who finds himself serving as librarian to the great Emperor. An idealist, Martino is in love with the beautiful baroness Emily (Monica Bellucci).

He has always felt a deep hatred for Napoleon, but as he spends time recording the Emperor's memoirs, he begins to develop an understanding of the fascinating man behind the myth.
