Film Description
Bertolucci's Oscar-winning epic about the last imperial ruler of China was a winner of 9 Oscars, including Best Picture. It tells the true story of the Last Emperor of China, ruler of nearly half the world's population at the age of three, overturned by revolution before he was 10, a puppet ruler of Manchuria as a young man, imprisoned by communists in middle age and a gardener in old age.
This is a masterpiece of controlled film making, in which the epic never overshadows the human story of an individual's struggle to adjust and cope as he moves through his life from power to humility, and from medieval China to 20th century Asia.
