Abel Gance





Abel Gance is a French film director. He is best known for his major silent film: the monumental 
Napoléon. It is a gigantic six-hour documentary of Napoleon, outlining his livelihood from his 
schooldays and the Terror, ending in his successful conquest of Italy.  The film stops there because 
it was planned to be part one of six, but director Abel Gance never raised the money to make the 
other five. The film’s famous standing because of the remarkable range of techniques that Gance 
uses to tell his story.
