(Making more money off these films is just an unfortunate side-effect that I am sure the studios are struggling to deal with.) But I really don&#8217;t see Bertolucci&#8217;s epic bio-pic about China&#8217;s last emperor detailing his ascent to the throne as a child to his arrest and political &#8220;re-education&#8221; at the hands of the Chinese Communists.
