The Wandering Princess
Making lists is an activity moviegoers are fond of. Every year, the same ritual: compilation of the ten best films, with comparative analyses, debates, heated discussions. But what about the ultimate list of the most outstanding films in the history of cinema? That is to say, those films that must be seen, those that have forever transformed the art of cinema, but also our way of seeing a culture, of understanding the world as well as our own lives? This program aims to tackle this challenge with nearly eighty films, produced between 1916 and 1960, while waiting for your lists!
Adapted from the memoirs of Saga Hiro, the film recounts the tumultuous life of this Japanese aristocrat woman who was married to consort Futetsu, younger brother of Puyi, the phantom emperor of the Qing dynasty in Manchuria.
