Thank you Daisuke. This movie is one of my favorites. I just got their bluray edition of it about the middle of last year. I was lucky enough to have seen it in the theater when it came out. I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season. A great sound track too! Looks like I got it a bit too early. Doh... Still a great movie. Also have a very Happy New Year!

Ryuichi Sakamoto plays such an ominous villain here, not to mention his indispensable contribution to the absolutely epic musical score (along with David Byrne and Cong Su). I had known about Manchukuo and its puppet emperor long before this film, but this sparked an exploration of Puyi and that era in more depth - which says something very good about a film that manages to spur further research on the background. Just a gorgeous movie all-around that is well worth watching and owning in 4k (especially noted the better sound quality on that one).

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, Daisuke-san!!!! I love this film so much, especially my favorite actor, John Lone. It's such a pity that he got retired. Happy holiday to you and your family, Daisuke-san!!! 🥂🎉♥️

I saw this movie in the theater as a new release when I lived in Germany. It made a memorable impression on me at the time, as I was pretty young when I saw it. I haven’t watched it since then, so I may have to get this. I tend to only buy physical disks if they include special features, especially an audio commentary track.
