Commended for their social relevance and artistic value, Chinese
films remain at the forefront of international cinema, bolstered in
recent years by a new generation of talented young filmmakers.
"Directory of World Cinema: China" presents an accessible overview
of the definitive films of Hong Kong and mainland China, with
particular attention to the achievements of prolific industry
figures, the burgeoning independent sector, and the embrace of
avant-garde practices of art cinema. Spanning a variety of
characteristic genres, including horror, heroic bloodshed, romantic
comedy, and kung-fu, reviews cover individual titles in
considerable depth and are accompanied by a selection of full-color
film stills. A comprehensive filmography and a bibliography of
recommended reading complete this essential companion to Chinese
cinema.
