‘Colonel Chabert’
Based on a Balzac story, the period-perfect 1994 “Chabert†begins 10 years with a strange and distant man (Gerard Depardieu) declaring at a Paris lawyer’s office that he is Col. Chabert, one of Napoleon’s favorites, thought killed at Eylau. What Chabert wants is to recover his property from his formidable former wife (Fanny Ardant, pictured), now the Countess Ferraud. Is this man truly Chabert or a deluded impostor? (Bravo Monday at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m.; early Tuesday at 1 a.m.)
