I just happen to own both VHS tapes of Napoleon, which my parents got for $2 at a yard sale many years ago. I will certainly cherish them.

This just in - the San Francisco Silent Film Festival is present Brownlow's compete restoration at the Oakland Paramount Theatre in March 2012. Carl Davis will personally conduct the 46-piece East Bay Oakland Symphony.

Wonderful interview. Kevin Brownlow is indeed a hero to all of us who are dedicated to the preservation and restoration of films. Long may he live.

well, dreams come true... he did!

Where did you get this interview?

Abel Gance is the inspiration for the movie project I'm working on L'Empereur, it takes place in the contemporary Bronx but it breathes with the spirit of Abel's 1927 Napoleon
-
I'm grateful every day for what Brownlow did for us all. Napoleon is o ne of my favorite movies, so I will always owe him more than I can say. Bravo! And thank you! And thanks for posting this vid.

@U2berox Agreed. What he has done to save so many films has made him the greatest historian of our time

Recently rewatched Brownlow's version, but I've heard they're coming out with a new DVD for it with the Carl Davis score? Hope so.

Kevin Brownlow is a hero to film. If he doesn't win some kind of special Oscar, it will be a travesty.

I hope illicit copies of the full version circulate someday on DVD, with Carl Davis' score. Coppola is indeed doing a huge disservice to cinema fans.
