Softcover volume, measuring approximately 6.25" x 9.25", is new, still in shrinkwrap. 272 pages. In this anthology, filmmakers, psychoanalysts, film scholars, and cultural historians use a psychoanalytic approach to examine Bernardo Bertolucci"s epic film "The Last Emperor" (1988). Evolving out of a conference on Bertolucci"s work,the essays interweave psychological, political, and cinematic themes in The Last Emperor as well as in much of Bertolucci"s other works. This volume includes a foreword by Bernardo Bertolucci and is organized into four parts or takes, including Filmcraft, Psychoanalysis, Film Scholarship, and Cultural History. Although we can never fully know the real Aisingioro Pu Yi, Bertolucci used his vision of the intricate relationship between art, ideology, and the psychic experience to tell the story of one ordinary man"s extraordinary life.
