The Last Emperor (Criterion Collection OOP DigiPack Blu-Ray)

Description: Criterion Collection Blu-Ray of The Last Emperor (1987). This is the long-out of print first pressing from 2009, in the early style of packaging that Criterion used for this release and others like Chungking Express, The 400 Blows, Last Year at Marienbad, etc.. It is not sealed (I opened it when I first got it), but I do not recall ever watching it. It has some minor shelf wear, as shown in the uploaded images. Description from Criterion: "Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Last Emperor won nine Academy Awards, unexpectedly sweeping every category in which it was nominated—quite a feat for a challenging, multilayered epic directed by an Italian and starring an international cast. Yet the scope of the film was, and remains, undeniably powerful—the life of Emperor Puyi, who took the throne in 1908, at age three, before witnessing decades of cultural and political upheaval within and without the walls of the Forbidden City. Recreating Qing-dynasty China with astonishing detail and unparalleled craftsmanship by cinematographer Vittorio Storaro and production designer Ferdinando Scarfiotti, The Last Emperor is also an intimate character study of one man reconciling personal responsibility and political legacy."
