Empress Wu (1963) (original) (raw)

Full of political intrigue, the film traces Wu's life from her formative teenage years all the way up to old age. This breathtaking, richly ornamented film shows how the beautiful, but cunning young concubine eliminates all her rivals, including the actual Empress, as she takes over control of the nation due to the fact that her husband, Emperor Kao Tsung, is suffering from a strange physical illness.
