At the station crowded with Chinese war criminals who had been detained in the Soviet Union, there was a man trying to commit suicide by leaving the line. He is the last emperor of the Qing dynasty, Shugi.
In a fading consciousness, his brain revives various pasts-the throne at the age of three. The boring days of the Forbidden City and Western civilization taught by a British teacher. However, the calm days do not last forever, and the waves of history rush to him. Coup d'etat, the Nanjing Massacre, the end of the war, and the Cultural Revolution...
An unprecedented historical masterpiece that spells out the turbulent life of the last Qing dynasty with the world's first Forbidden City location on a magnificent scale. In addition to international all-star casts such as John Lone, Peter O'Toole, and Ryuichi Sakamoto, outstanding Vittorio Straro's outstanding camera builds Bernard Bertolucci's dignified work world. Ryuichi Sakamoto also served as the music producer for this work, and was the first Japanese to win the Academy Award for Original Music Composition.
