This pivot considers key transformations within the Chinese film
industry since the country opened its doors to the outside world in
the late 1970s, and moved from an ideologically-centred censorship
system to one of contestation and cooperation between politics, art
and market. Focusing on Zhang Yimou, arguably one of China's most
innovative and controversial filmmakers and directors, the author
addresses the challenges faced by contemporary Chinese cinema in
the face of Hollywood dominance, notably making genre films in an
increasingly globalized context, and the necessary compromises
between the local and global, the national and the international.
Through a combination of textual analysis and context study, it
examines action-oriented films Zhang made as responses to a rapidly
changing film market and industry.
