If you loved Der letzte Kaiser, try 1900
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Bernardo Bertolucci, and they both carry the bittersweet, epic mood tags, and they sit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Der letzte Kaiser, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What 1900 is
Barry Lyndon meets Reds. Two boys born on the same day in 1900 grow up on opposite sides of Italy's class divide. Bertolucci's operatic vision is long, lush, and committed to its own scale.
