About the film:
Director: Bernardo Bertolucci
This sweeping account of the life of Pu Yi, the last emperor of China, follows the leader's tumultuous reign. After being captured by the Red Army as a war criminal in 1950, Pu Yi recalls his childhood from prison. He remembers his lavish youth in the Forbidden City, where he was afforded every luxury but unfortunately sheltered from the outside world and complex political situation surrounding him. As revolution sweeps through China, the world Pu Yi knew is dramatically upended.
"As pure spectacle, "The Last Emperor" is a spellbinding peek behind the gate of a lost world." - New York Daily News
"A remarkable achievement." - The Washington Post
