After art-house hits like Chen Kaige's Yellow Earth (1984) and Wong Kar-wai's In the Mood for Love (2000), the Oscar-winning success of Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) disproved the old myth that subtitled films could not succeed at the multiplex. Chinese Films in Focus II updates and expands the original Chinese Films in Focu: 25 New Takes with fourteen brand new essays, to offer thirty-four fresh and insightful readings of key individual films. The new edition addresses films from mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and other parts of the Chinese diaspora and the historical coverage ranges from the 1930s to the present." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes list of illustrations and index -- includes lists of Chinese names and Chinese film titlesISBN: 9781844572373Contents: Notes on contributors -- Introduction: one film at a time - again / Chris Berry -- 15: The Singapore failure story, 'slanged up' / Song Hwee Lim -- Big Shot's Funeral: Performing a post-modern cinema of attractions / Yingjin Zhang -- Black Cannon Incident: Countering the counter-espionage fantasy / Jason McGrath -- Blind Shaft: Performing the 'underground' on and beyond the screen / Jonathan Noble -- Boat People: Second thoughts on text and context / Julian Springer -- Centre Stage: A shadow in reverse / Berenice Reynaud -- A Chinese Ghost Story: Ghostly counsel and innocent man / John Zou -- Chungking Express: Time and its displacements / Janice Tong -- Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Cultural migrancy and translatability / Felicia Chan -- Crows and Sparrows: Allegory on a historical threshold / Yiman Wang -- Durian Durian: Defamiliarisation of the 'real' / Esther M.
