We are delighted that Bernardo Bertolucci’s magnum opus “The Last Emperor”, winner of 9 Academy Awards including Best Picture, has been restored in 4K by Turbine Medien, in partnership with Arrow Films.
THE LAST EMPEROR tells the dramatic history of Pu Yi, the last of the Emperors of China, from his lofty birth and brief reign in the Forbidden City, the object of worship by half a billion people; through his abdication, his decline and dissolute lifestyle; his exploitation by the invading Japanese, and finally to his obscure existence as just another peasant worker in the People's Republic.
WINNER: 9 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, 3 BAFTAs including Best Picture, 4 Golden Globes including Best Director
