Review of The Last Emperor (1987) by David S — 16 Nov 2009
Some movies are so big in every way that it's hard to get your head around them the first time you see them. The Last Emperor is one of them. It's a beautiful sumptuous epic that covers a lot of historical ground but stays grounded in its themes and characters.
It's an awe-inspiring achievement. Yet, I couldn't help but wish everyone wasn't speaking English all the time.
