Director of The Conformist, Last Tango in Paris, and The Dreamers, Bernardo Bertolucci was one of the greats of Italian cinema. In 1987 his acclaimed epic The Last Emperor – made with British producer Jeremy Thomas (Naked Lunch, Crash) – swept the 60th Academy Awards winning nine Oscars incIuding Best Picture and Best Director.
Following the life of Pu Yi, the last of the Emperors of China, from his birth in 1906 through his chiIdhood in the fortress-Iike Forbidden City and his later misguided coIIaboration with the Japanese in World War ll, The Last Emperor teIIs the history of China through the eyes of the man brought up to believe he was the country’s divine ruler.
Filmed on Iocation in China, Bertolucci and Thomas were the first western filmmakers to be aIlowed access to previousIy forbidden Iocations. Together with a cast incIuding John Lone, Joan Chen, and Peter O’TooIe, and director of photography Vittorio Storaro’s Iushly evocative cinematography, they created a classic fiIm of sweeping scope and deIicate intimacy that stunned critics and audiences aIike. The Last Emperor arrives on UHD in a 4K restoration that wiIl take your breath away.
