The Last Emperor
Drama163 min
Crowned at age three, Pu Yi grows up inside the Forbidden City as the last Emperor of China, then watches monarchy, invasion, and revolution remake the country around him. John Lone is Pu Yi, first raised as a sacred ruler and later carried through abdication, foreign influence, and life under shifting regimes. Spanning the collapse of imperial China, Japanese occupation, and the rise of communism, Bernardo Bertolucci’s film follows one man from the rigid ceremony of the palace into the political upheavals of the 20th century.
