* Naturally, a number of biopics about Napoleon that feature his early life, such as the 1927 [[Film/Napoleon1927 Abel Gance film]] and the 1955 Creator/SachaGuitry [[Film/Napoleon1955 film duology]]. 2023's ''Film/{{Napoleon|2023}}'' doesn't feature the island, but several tracks of the film's score use traditional Corsican chanting.

The island is most well-known as the birthplace of UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte, the Emperor of France and one of the greatest military commanders in history, who built an indissoluble link between the island and the rest of France. The island is also known for the nationalism of its natives, with relentless calls for greater autonomy and protection for Corsican culture and the Corsican language becoming a feature of its politics, and several groups carrying out campaigns of violence to that end. It doesn't help at all that the Corsican language really is quite different from French, and is in fact a [[UsefulNotes/CultureOfItaly Tuscan dialect]] more closely related to Standard Italian than most of the regional languages of Italy itself (that is to say: until about the 1960s or 1970s, a typical Corsican would have an easier time understanding a Creator/{{RAI}} broadcast than a typical UsefulNotes/{{Ven|ice}}etian or UsefulNotes/{{Sicil|y}}ian).
