Absolutely brilliant

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This film is very old but İt is still impressive.I think so, I watched four times. William Hundert -Kevin Klein- is a teacher at prep school. This teacher have a different method for his student.Sedgewick Bell - Senator's son- come at school. There is a competition in the school tradition called Mr. Julius Caesar. Sedgewick, Martin, Louis and Deepack is the finalists. He - Sedgewick- does the trick and he lose competition. Twenty five years later,Sedgewick organizes a rematch while offering a large donation. Sedgewick does the trick again. Mr. Hundert does to notice.He was disappointed. In the beginning, Mr.Hundert thought 'Sedgewick changed' but he understood he didn't change because human's character never change.I hope so, We will have like this teacher.I hope so, some changes will of our lives.

a film like reflection support. about the role of teacher, about the roots of knowledge and its purpose, about the beauty of self definition, about the mask and the truth. in fact, about the metamorphose of teenagers and the courage to be yourself. Kevin Kline does a great work and that is the central point. and his performance is admirable first for the art to not be the clone of other teacher - characters.yes, The Emperor's Club is not version of Dead Poets Society and Mr. Hundert is far to be Mr. Keating. or Mr. Chipping. it is a different level, maybe, a different way. and this detail does this film real special. because the school is more than laboratory. it could be, it must be the spine of existence values.

Surfing through the more obscure TV channels I came across The Emperor's Club. To my surprise I found this film enervating and compelling from beginning to end. Sure, there were some ordinary moments, but I felt the emotions of the cast coming straight at me throughout. Kevin Kline was terrific as were all the others, who, by their variety and quantity were a starring but supporting cast. The dialogue at every turn added to the depth of character of the film in its entirety and the interspersing of the quotations added the icing to the cake. The story and its telling was riveting entertainment as well as being completely thought provoking. BLM

This movie is not one of the better titles that Kevin Kline has been a part of during his illustrious career. Kevin Kline has consistently shown his audience his deftness and his uncanny ability to get inside of a character and make it his own. The Emperor's Club is an okay movie that Kevin Kline keeps from going down the drain. One of the key factors in rating a movie or a performance to me is, what happens when the main character is off camera? Does the movie still move along? Am I eager to see the character again? Watch this movie with that in mind. Watch a fish called Wanda the same way. Or watch Wild Wild West. Kevin Kline simply shines through in every possible way.
