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.

"Great movie! I had no idea about the story behind the history. Well made. A #mustwatch "
Salim Hemdani
"Incredibly well made, with great technicals (especially production design, costumes and cinematography) and a great central performance by John Lone (robbed of an Oscar nomination IMO). Fascinating character journey too. Not surprised at the 9-for-9 Oscars clean sweep."

"The cinematography is so beautiful! I especially liked the restricted use of color, which underscored the protagonist's restricted life. ("He is the Son of Heaven! He shouldn't need glasses!")"
