Karl Grune’s “Waterloo” portrays Napoleon’s final campaign as a human drama as much as a battlefield epic. Alongside the iconic clash between Napoleon and Wellington, the film follows Austrian General Blutcher—a flirtatious ladies’ man whose encounter with a Countess and tender moments with his modest wife expose personal hopes and regrets. The story foregrounds love, loss and missed opportunities amid war.
