Although Chinese film audiences have always maintained a
foundational cultural interest in the fantastic, this trend has
dramatically increased over the last decade. Sino-Enchantment is
the first work in English to approach this recent explosion of
fantastic film in Chinese cinemas, where each re-envisioning of the
form is determined by cultural, economic, political and
technological factors to produce fresh inventions and creative
reinventions of familiar narratives, characters and tropes. With
case studies of films such as The Assassin (2015), Monster Hunt
(2015) and The Great Wall (2016), this novel approach uses the
framework of 'Sino-enchantment' as a new theoretical lens through
which readers can engage with elements of the fantastic in Chinese
cinema.
