Lover of The Last Empress (1995)

A story of vengeance and personal greed for power. A legendary curse is placed on the fall of the Manchu Dynasty. Empress Dowager Cixi goes from just another pretty face in the harem of the concubines to the First Lady of Vice via various strategies and manipulations in a most-ambitious political conspiracy with spine-chilling viciousness. This also features a rare Category 3 appearance for Tony Leung Ka-Fai and Chingmy Yau as a concubine who is schooled by a prostitute.
