Cinema is a dominant force in the lives of many people living in
Asia, a continent that has a number of distinguished national film
industries. A concept central to much of Asian film production is
melodrama. This path-breaking study examines the importance of
melodrama in the film traditions of Japan, India, China, Indonesia,
the Philippines, and Australia. Exploring the various ways that
melodrama operates with theoretical sophistication, the various
essays contained in this volume shed light on the different
traditions of Asian cinema, as well as on the wider cultural
discourse in which they participate.
