Book Synopsis
Examines new sinophone modes of filmic address in Hong Kong cinema in the 20th century, enabling a developing cosmopolitanism to emerge

Trade Review
"This very welcome addition to the scholarship on transnational Chinese cinema provides the needed depth and breadth to appreciate the expansive historical and geographic sweep of Chinese-language film with Hong Kong at its beating heart.? Tan deftly moves from Shanghai roots through cross-dressing operatic romances, softcore court intrigues, James Bond-style spy stories, and swordplay actioners as they circulate through Hong Kong and throughout the Chinese diaspora.? Culminating with Tsui Hark's New Wave Chinese-accented cosmopolitanism, this book highlights the continuing importance of Hong Kong at a cinematic crossroads that connects Asia to the rest of the world." -Gina Marchetti, author of Citing China: Politics, Postmodernism, and World Cinema
