Austerlitz

It will begin at Austerlitz bridge and end among the gardens, fountains and palaces in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower at Trocadero.

A scene focusing on the Battle of Austerlitz found its voice when Scott suggested using music featuring Corsican voices paired with a critical moment when soldiers fall through the ice.

The Austerlitz basin will collect rain water before evacuating it to a treatment plant, and when it has met the required health criteria, the water will be poured into the Seine.

Or how, in the movie’s most visually and musically arresting sequence, to send the Russian and Austrian troops at Austerlitz to a bloody, watery grave.

Of course, the epic contains cavalry campaigns at Austerlitz and Waterloo, a burning Moscow and an unfortunate Great Pyramid used for cannon target practice — it prints the facts and the legend both.
