Special scenes of the “last emperor” Bertolucci will take place in St. Petersburg and Moscow

On October 21, the company "Foreigno" will present in the cinemas of St. Petersburg and Moscow special shows of the film Bernardo Bertolucci "The Last Emperor" dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the picture.

“The Last Emperor, a grandiose film epic, shot according to the scenario of Bertolucci himself, tells the political story of China of the twentieth century and the story of the life and death of the boy Pu and, who occupied the throne at the age of three,” the website of the company “Nonekino” reports. -The young ruler grew locked in a 9999-room palace, seven were overthrown in order to spend the next twelve years in a forbidden city by the emperor without an empire, not even the opportunity to go out. After that there were emigration, a new throne, captivity, concentration camp and, finally, the place of the gardener in the Beijing Botanical Garden - another kind of non -freedom, impossible and inaccessible to the last emperor. ”

“The film received nine Oscars, four Golden Globes, Cesar Award and other prestigious awards, which finally elevated Bertolucci’s name to the category of“ classics ”. The Italian director shot an absolutely European film about China - with a soft light and a slow rhythm created on the screen by the brilliant operator Wittorio Straro, with the fading of Ferdinando Scarfotti, with attention to the acting game and a special - European - optics. In the polyphony of political transformations, revolutions and coups, a human story remains to be heard, and such a combination of epic and intimacy makes the "last emperor" one of those films for which it was worth inventing a movie.
