The first of Bertoluccis
three great exotic films. The so-called Oriental Trilogy begins with this historical
fresco covering sixty years of life in China told through the eyes of Pu Yi, the
last emperor. Its visual splendour and meticulous creation of atmosphere, - a
spectacle turned into history, won it many Oscars. Bertolucci usually says that
this is the only positive film Ive made. | |
