A 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.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The expanse of time is saturated with an expanse of visual beauty that feels absolutely right for the story.
– Lisa Schwarzbaum,

fresh:
As coolly lavish an epic as we may ever see.
– Sheila Benson,

fresh:
There's probably a truly great movie in the story of Pu Yi, but The Last Emperor is not that movie. Still, what director Bernardo Bertolucci (Last Tango in Paris) has accomplished here is both ambitious and impressive.
– Jay Boyar,
Orlando Sentinel,

fresh:
If there is such a thing as voluptuous detachment, Bertolucci and John Lone have found it. Lone's achievement in his absorbing account of Pu Yi is to place him at a distance and yet make his plight totally involving.
– Desmond Ryan,
Philadelphia Inquirer,
7 Jan 2014
fresh:
It is a hesitant, conservative approach that yields great elegance and a rhythm that carries the viewer along. Yet the film is haunted by a sense of opportunities not taken, of an artist deliberately reining in his artistry.
– Dave Kehr,
