Hong Kong's film industry gained global attention in the 1980s, at
the time of negotiations over Great Britain's return of the colony
to China. Uncertainty about the post-handover era accelerated Hong
Kong's race for economic growth, and found expression in cinema's
depictions of a 'city on fire.' In this accessible introduction to
the extraordinary cinematic output of the colony, Michael Hoover
and Lisa Stokes review the directors and films that have
established Hong Kong cinema internationally: John Woo's martial
arts flicks, Tsui Hark's wire-worked fantasies, Ann Hui's exile
melodramas, Stanley Kwan's limpid romances, and Wong Kar-wai's
stylish art films.
