Monsieur N. is a 2003 British-French movie directed by Antoine de Caunes. It tells the story of the last years of the life of Napoleon Bonaparte (played by Philippe Torreton) who was imprisoned by the British on St Helena. Napoleon retained a loyal entourage of officers who helped him plot his escape, and evaded the attentions of Sir Hudson Lowe (Richard E. Grant), the island's overzealous Governor. The film suggests that Napoleon could have escaped to Louisiana, where he died, and that the body exhumed and now at Les Invalides is that of Napoleon's officer Cipriani. The movie also suggests that Napoleon and his young new English wife could have attended the ceremony of "Napoleon's" burial in the Invalides.
