An essential VOD platform rich in a catalog as singular as it is varied, UniversCiné invites you to dive into Alexander Revisited, one of the 4 versions of the cult film, but shunned, by Oliver Stone. Focus on this cinematographic myth.
Find Alexandre Revisited on UniversCiné.
Cinema fans know it well: many productions have been talked about for something other than their awards or their success with the public. There were the cursed films, those whose filming turned into disaster, or even those feature films which attracted the wrath of critics and then had several lives through new montages.
Among the most famous titles of this last category, it is impossible to miss Alexandre. It was in 2004 that Oliver Stone (Platoon, Born on the 4th of July, JFK…) realized his dream by bringing the destiny of Alexander the Great to the big screen, precisely. Shunned by spectators and shunned by the profession, this film starring Colin Farrell, Angelina Jolie, Val Kilmer, Jared Leto and even Anthony Hopkins was quickly relegated to the status of an artistic accident.

If he could have thrown his Alexandre into oblivion, Oliver Stone prefers to follow in the footsteps of Francis Ford Coppola and Ridley Scott by getting back to work and offering a new skin to his work… (and even several!) After a first director’s cut unveiled on the occasion of the DVD release of the film, and before the latest Ultimate version created for the 10th anniversary of the film, the filmmaker presents in 2009 the Revisited version which radically changes the vision of his Alexandre, and which UniversCiné offers you to (re)discover now.
Alternating past and present, one thus feeding on the other to find the key to a legendary destiny, the editing of Alexandre Revisited dynamises the often criticized chronology of the 2004 version, and thus succeeds in giving more breadth to this emblematic character. More than the historical scope, this vision focuses on the intimate and mythological trajectory of the Macedonian emperor, offering a more personal feature film, breathtaking battles, all punctuated by the exuberant and so characteristic style of Oliver Stone.

The icing on the cake: the director offers himself an irresistible cameo, with a smirk, during a legendary scene. In short, a peplum that finally finds a look worthy of its excess, to see without delay!
