Bernardo Bertolucci’s epic film tells the incredible story of Pu Yi, who in 1908 at the age of three, became ruler of nearly half of the world’s population. He was the “Son of heaven”, “Lord of Ten Thousand Years” and the last emperor of China. His reign was short and three years later a revolution ended three thousand years of imperial rule and a new republic was born. Allowed to remain in his palace and the enclosed walls of the Forbidden City, he was unable to venture further than the city gates. Winner of nine Oscars The Last Emperor was one of the biggest and most ambitious productions ever undertaken. Director Bernardo Bertolucci and Producer Jeremy Thomas, spent two years in negotiations before being granted the unprecedented permission to not only film in China, but within the Forbidden City itself. The result was one of the most visually breathtaking and moving epics ever made.
