A sweeping epic
Every time I mention to someone that I hadn’t seen The Last Emperor, the first reaction is disbelief, and the second is `It is such a good movie’. And indeed it was. I’m not sure what the non-director’s cut was, because the version I saw was the director’s cut, but it was absolutely fantastic. Not once did I think that the nearly four hour run time was too long because the story was so compelling, the direction brilliant and the acting engaging. I find it hard to believe that it took me this long to see this film, and I also find it hard to believe it is not in the IMDB Top 250. Its Best Picture and Director honors were well-deserved, and the Oscar-winning score is amazing. I’ll admit that I was left hanging a bit in regard to the Emperor’s wife, but that is the only thing that I can remotely find slightly lacking in this film. An outstanding film, The Last Emperor is entertaining, informative and important.

My brief review of the film
A well done and fascinating, but long and poorly explained biopic – compressing sixty years of history and politics into two and a half hours will be at least a bit overwhelming for a viewer who is not familiar with the topic to understand. However, in terms of art direction, costumes and acting the film is definitely fine. Lone is entirely convincing at the title person from young adulthood to old age, and O’Toole is good as his tutor. But the overarching problem with the film is that all this history is presented without much explanation… making the film a far from satisfying watch, even if one with many cinematic virtues.
