The Last Emperor(1987)

7.6/10

dir. Bernardo Bertolucci

S-Tier

A dramatic history of Pu Yi, the last of the Emperors of China, from his lofty birth and brief reign in the Forbidden City, the object of worship by half a billion people; through his abdication, his decline and dissolute lifestyle; his exploitation by the invading Japanese, and finally to his obscure existence as just another peasant worker in the People's Republic.

The Stunt Man(1980)

6.6/10

dir. Richard Rush

S-Tier

S-Tier from Radiance's Transmission sublabel, new 4K scan of the original camera negative with Dolby Vision. A massive upgrade over the old Severin Blu-ray, which had gone out of print and was fetching inflated prices on eBay for years. People who held off on the Severin are feeling vindicated. Peter O'Toole is completely unhinged in this and the production history behind the film is almost as wild as the movie itself. Region-free UHD disc, region B locked Blu-ray. Includes the original mono track and Severin's 5.1 remix, plus two commentary tracks.
