Incredible feat in directing & storytelling. Filming in the actual Forbidden City is such a flex. Not super rewatchable so 9/10 ⭐️s.
A sad and painful masterpiece about the life of the last emperor of China. Extremely impressive and memorable, well-made, a standard drama
Puyi is not always a likable person, but you can’t help feelings for him. Visually impressive.
Excellent historical drama movie, amazing cinematography and visuals with epic story. Worth watching
Gorgeous but feels a bit hollow. The sprawling story seems familiar and the cast is a little hit or miss. It’s worth a watch for sure
One of the last grandmaster teams of director & cinematographer that could create great beauty while telling tragic story.
A classic that not enough people know about
One-of-a-kind experiences you can't found anywhere else in Cinéma.
Wish the movie focused more on the characters story rather than the historical story. Well made but didn’t feel all scenes were needed
Masterpiece. One of my favorite movies ever made. Go watch it now☺️
