Description

Book Synopsis
Examines three films concerned with the issues of developing globalization and the defence of local identity and culture. This book explores the visuality of these films, taking account of the film makers' reliance on the metaphoric image in skirting Chinese film censorship. It includes a DVD, containing key scenes from each film.

Trade Review

"The book displays a number of features that give it a special place in the current field of English-language writing about Chinese-language cinema."
