Desc: Waterloo: Directed by Jirí Belka. With Rudolf Hrusínský, Otakar Brousek, Jirí Adamíra, Karel Houska. In a tense dramatic situation on a June night in 1815, a few hours before a battle that seems lost in advance, Napoleon has a choice: either to go into battle and risk not winning, or not to go into battle, which of course means abdicating. To give up absolute power and offer his military experience to the people, to the republic.
