'CLOTHES' ENCOUNTER Holm in Napoleon's garb
The Emperor's New Clothes: Philippe Antonello
Bilbo Baggins himself, Ian Holm, plays Napoleon (and a Napoleon impersonator) in a fantastical ''What if?'' romance. The premise: Instead of dying in exile in 1821, the diminutive dictator secretly moves to Paris, where he attempts to reclaim his authority. But his quest for power is soon stymied when he falls for a fetching widow (''High Fidelity'''s Iben Hjejle).
