裸の王様
The 2001 film "The Emperor's New Clothes", directed by Alan Taylor, was based on Leys' novel "The Death of Napoleon". Leys expressed distaste for the film, however; stating in an afterword accompanying a reprint of the novel that this "latter avatar ["The Emperor's New Clothes"], by the way, was both sad and funny: sad, because Napoleon was interpreted to perfection by an actor (Ian Holm) whose performance made me dream of what could have been achieved had the producer and director bothered to read the book."
