The Last Emperor (1987)

aka 마지막 황제 · Le dernier empereur · O Último Imperador · 末代皇帝 · Den siste kejsaren

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.
