The Last Emperor

Rating: 9/10 (17 January 2014)

Directed by legendary Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci, this incredible page of history brings the light on what happened during the transition from the old Chinese Empire to the dark days of the communist government. Quite sad in a way but close the facts & actual events of the time, the film depicts without any glorification, the life story of one of the most fascinating character of the 20th century. Beautifully shot, acted by some of the most amazing actors around & benefiting of a good budget, this film is from another age, a time when cinema was still able to transport you into another world & make you dream.
Bertolucci has created a masterpiece, a must see for any cinephile out there wishing to enlarge their personal culture.
