Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
『悲劇の皇后 ラストエンプレス』（ひげきのこうごう ラストエンプレス、原題：末代皇后）は、中国最後の皇帝愛新覚羅溥儀の妻婉容を描いた1986年の中国・香港合作映画である。日本では劇場未公開でビデオ発売された。 オープニングは1922年の溥儀と婉容の婚礼から始まるが、物語は1931年の天津における第二皇妃文繡の離婚訴訟、満州国建国、「祥貴人」譚玉齢の冊立とその早い死、その葬儀の最中に新しい側室として15歳の少女（後の「福貴人」李玉琴）が連れてこられるまでを描く。一連の出来事の中で、婉容は溥儀の愛情を受けられず、侍従と密通して妊娠するが、子供が死産だったことから精神が崩壊していく。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
