Summary: "Infernal Affairs has received journalistic, popular and corporate notice but little vigorous critical attention. In this book, Gina Marchetti explores the way this example of Hong Kong's cinematic eclecticism has crossed borders as a story, a commercial product and a work of art; and has had an undeniable impact on current Hong Kong cinema." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "With due emphases on diasporic intimacies, cine-feminism, and transcultural literacy, Audrey Yue has written a sensitive and lucid study, doing justice to a remarkable film by a remarkable director."---Rey Chow, Duke University -- "This book pushes the boundaries of existing studies on Hong Kong cinema studies. Yue provides us with innovative ways of reading intimacy in the diaspora: as nostalgia for the familiar or idealised; as cultural memories that make up diasporic archives; as modes of transformation of kinship Structures; as affects produced through new media technologies. The book concludes with a self-reflexive exploration of teaching Song in Australia. By situating the film under the rubric of critical multiculturalism, Yue demonstrates how the teaching of postcolonial cinema can be sustained as a political pedagogy that resists the pluralist demands of a neoliberal curriculum. This is a carefully researched, rigorously analytical and intellectually profound study that will make its mark in the fields of diaspora, transcultural communication and cinema studies."---Jacqueline Lo, Australian National University -- The resolutely independent filmmaker Ann On-wah Hui continues to inspire critical acclaim for her sensitive portrayals of numerous Hong Kong tragedies and marginalized populations. In a pioneering career spanning three decades, Hui has been director, producer, writer and actress for more than 30 films. -- In this work, Audrey Yue analyses a 1990 film considered by many to be one of Hui's most haunting and poignant works, Song of the Exile. The semi-autobiographical film depicts a daughter's coming to terms with her mother's Japanese identity. Themes of cross-cultural alienation, divided loyalties and generational reconciliation resonate strongly amid the migration and displacement pressures surrounding Hong Kong in the early 1990s. Even now, more than a decade after the 1997 Handover, the film is a perennial favourite among returning Hong Kong emigrants and international cinema students. -- This book examines how Hui challenges the myth of the original home as singular, familial and romantic, and constructs the second home as a new space for Hong Kong modernity. Yue also discusses the teaching of the film in the diaspora, demonstrating its potential as an affective and performative text of transcultural literacy and diasporic negotiations in the cross-cultural classroom. --Book Jacket.

Summary: "This book explores the range and dynamism of contemporary Asian cinemas, covering East Asia (China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan), Southeast Asia (Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia), South Asia (Bollywood), and West Asia (Iran), in order to discover what is common about them and to engender a theory or concept of "Asian Cinema". It goes beyond existing work which provides a field survey of Asian cinema, probing more deeply into the field of Asian Cinema, arguing that Asian Cinema constitutes a separate pedagogical subject, and putting forward an alternative cinematic paradigm. The book covers "styles", including the works of classical Asian Cinema masters, and specific genres such as horror films, and Bollywood and Anime, two very popular modes of Asian Cinema; "spaces", including artistic use of space and perspective in Chinese cinema, geographic and personal space in Iranian cinema, the private "erotic space" of films from South Korea and Thailand, and the persistence of the family unit in the urban spaces of Asian big cities in many Asian films; and "concepts" such as Pan-Asianism, Orientalism, Nationalism and Third Cinema. The rise of Asian nations on the world stage has been coupled with a growing interest, both inside and outside Asia, of Asian culture, of which film is increasingly an indispensable component--this book provides a rich, insightful overview of what exactly constitutes Asian Cinema." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: Examines ways in which Chinese and Euro-American film theorists conceptualize reality and cinema. In Cinema Approaching Reality, Victor Fan brings together, for the first time, Chinese and Euro-American film theories and theorists to engage in critical debates about film in Shanghai and Hong Kong from the 1920s through the 1940s. The result is an eye-opening exploration of the potentialities in approaching cinema anew, especially in the photographic materiality following its digital turn. -- taken from the publisher's site

Summary: "'Contemporary cinema' is a major study of key developments in the cinema over the last thirty years. It reworks Pasolini's landmark concept of 'the cinema of poetry' to look at the transformation of film form in its encounter with society, the sacred, the subjective and the presence of the camera. In the 1970s, the influential forms of a cinema of poetry are analysed in key features by Altman, Herzog, Malick, Scorsese, Weir, Von Trotta and Tarkovsky while in the 1980s and 1990s the emergence of new filmmakers has meant a diffusion of different cinemas of poetry using new techniques and new poetries. Of key importance here is the work of Kieslowski, Lynch, Egoyan, Campion, Greenaway, Zhang Yimou, Tran Anh Hung and Wong Kar-Wai, as well as the reinvention of science fiction and film noir in American genre."

The company was initially formed through the tutelage of The Union Film Enterprise Limited veterans, who acted as mentors for a new generation of actors, in works like the company’s founding film The Rouge Tigress (1955), Mother’s Boy Parts One and Two (1956), Blood is Thicker (1956) etc. The company then proceeded to make films on location in Malaysia and Singapore, which led to the ‘Nanyang Trilogy’ – Blood Stains the Valley of Love (1957), China Wife (1957), Moon over Malaya (1957). These films turned newcomers Patrick Tse, Nam Hung and Kar Ling into stars, and gradually fashioned a studio style that set Kong Ngee apart from other Cantonese productions of the time. Kong Ngee made its name with modern romance, both tragic and comic. Reviewing the history of Kong Ngee, from its smooth beginning to its disappointing end, the company started out in the footsteps of the Union tradition but effortlessly moved on from the cultural milieu of the May Fourth Movement to cultivate a modern urban bourgeois sensibility. Regrettably, towards the end of the 1960s, it was thrown off course by the restless pulse of that era and has since fallen by the wayside. To this day, we have not been able to revive this urban cosmopolitan drama that was once part of Hong Kong cinema. Writers in this volume have put together their efforts for a multifaceted study on Kong Ngee, encompassing subjects from the star image to urban media, from genre development to literary adaptation, alongside comparisons between creative talents and individual companies. Last but not least the complex relations between Hong Kong cinema and its Singapore/Malaysian financiers. [Abridged from introduction].

Summary: The Culture of Hong Kong encompasses Jackie Chan and John Woo, British colonial architecture and postmodern skyscrapers. Ironically, it was not until they were faced with the imposition of Mainland power - with the signing of the Sino-British Joint Agreement in 1984 - that the denizens of the colony began the search for a Hong Kong identity. According to Abbas, Hong Kong's peculiar lack of identity is due to its status as "not so much a place as a space of transit," whose residents think of themselves as transients and migrants on their way from China to somewhere else. In this intriguing and provocative exploration of its cinema, architecture, photography, and literature, Ackbar Abbas considers what Hong Kong, with its unique relations to decolonization and disappearance, can teach us about the future of both the colonial city and the global city

Summary: Starting with the first “Western shadow plays” shown in the late 1890s, motion pictures have played a significant role in China’s cultural existence for more than a century. Initially centered in Shanghai, Chinese cinema boomed in Hong Kong in the 1930s, aided by the advent of talkies and the influx of talent and investment from mainland China, Southeast Asia, and America. From the late 1940s, Hong Kong supplanted Shanghai as the “Hollywood of China”. In Hong Kong Cinema: A Cross-Cultural View, authors Law Kar and Frank Bren follow the story from Hong Kong’s early silent, Chuang Tsi Tests His Wife, through the martial arts craze of the 1970s, to the medium’s continued appeal for contemporary international audiences. Rather than provide a sweeping history, the authors focus on the impact of individual personalities, particularly local filmmakers and movie stars. They also consider Eastern and Western influences and examine major developments, including the changing role of women. By profiling key figures and events of the 20th century, this overview is the perfect introduction for anyone interested in Hong Kong’s contribution to world cinema. [Taken from back cover.]

Summary: Since the 1960s, Hong Kong cinema has helped to shape one of the world's most popular cultural genres: action cinema. Hong Kong action films have proved popular over the decades with audiences worldwide, and they have seized the imaginations of filmmakers working in many different cultural traditions and styles. How do we account for this appeal, which changes as it crosses national borders? Hong Kong Connections brings leading film scholars together to explore the uptake of Hong Kong cinema in Japan, Korea, India, Australia, France and the US, as well as its links with Taiwan, Singapore and the Chinese mainland. In the process, this collective study examines diverse cultural contexts for action cinema's popularity, and the problems involved in the transnational study of globally popular forms - suggesting that in order to grasp the history of Hong Kong action cinema's influence we need to bring out the difference as well as the links that constitute popularity.

Summary: Contains two levels of significance. First, it is the reappearance of many veterans of our film industry to relate their memories; and second, it retrospects on the development of martial arts films through extracts of video interviews whereby veterans speak about the martial arts genre and the pictures. The veterans that the Hong Kong Film Archive has managed to interview span from Chin Tsi-ang, Hong Kong's first lady martial arts star (the grandmother of Sammo Hung), to Michelle Yeoh, who has now carried her fame and talent into Hollywood. Among them are prominent stars and directors who have long retired as well as those up-and-coming talents still working in the industry. In English and Chinese.

Summary: Multiple Modernities explores the cultural terrain of East Asia. Arguing that becoming modern happens differently in different places, the contributors examine popular culture – most notably cinema and television – to see how modernization, as both a response to the West and a process that is unique in its own right in the region, operates on a mass level. Included in this collection are significant explorations of popular culture in East Asia, including Chinese new cinema and rock music, Korean cinema, and Taiwanese television, as well as discussions of alternative arts in general. While each essay focuses on specific nations or cinemas, the collective effect of reading them is to offer a comprehensive, in-depth picture of how popular culture in East Asia operates to both generate and reflect the immense change this significant region of the world is undergoing.

Summary: "The trajectory of Hong Kong films had been drastically affected long before the city’s official sovereignty transfer from the British to the Chinese in 1997. The change in course has become more visible in recent years as China has aggressively developed its national film industry and assumed the role of powerhouse in East Asia’s cinematic landscape. The author introduces the “Cinema of Transitions” to study the New Hong Kong Cinema and on- and off-screen life against this background. Using examples from the 1980s to the present, this book offers a fresh perspective on how Hong Kong-related Chinese-language films, filmmakers, audiences, and the workings of film business in East Asia have become major platforms on which “transitions” are negotiated." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: Shaw films are known for their rich doses of fantasy and strong flavour of Chinese culture. The paradoxes and imagination evident in their films were shared by a modern Hong Kong society taking shape throughout the decades. But there's one motif threading their productions - "entertainment first". The book explores the working of film genres, the studio and star systems inside the Shaw film empire and offers a window to re-examining the interaction between films and the time.

Summary: "Sinophone Cinemas considers a range of multilingual, multidialect and multi-accented cinemas produced in Chinese-language locations outside mainland China. Showcasing a variety of new and fascinating case studies from Britain, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Australia, and canvassing a range of formats including commercial co-productions, short films, documentaries and independent films, the book highlights the contemporary screen cultures of Chinese-language communities situated on the margins of China and Chineseness. It engages new sites of localisation, multilingualism and differences that have emerged in Chinese film studies, ones that are not easily contained by the notion of diaspora. The chapters cover a number of historical periods, geographical locations, and critical and methodological perspectives, such as the political economy of Sinophone film production, distribution, consumption and regulation; cinematic practices of Chinese and non-Chinese language resistance, complicity and transformation; and Sinophone communities as sites of cultural production and visual economies." - BOOK BLURB

Summary: With titles such as Hard Boiled, Kwaidan and Onibaba, Tartan delivered the best and most provocative cinema from the East. But when Ring and Audition were unleashed upon unsuspecting audiences nationwide it became apparent that the appetite for such outrageous fare was massive, and it made sense to let people know where to find it. Thus, Asia Extreme was born. Films such as Battle Royale and Infernal Affairs continue to satisfy the ever increasing hunger for astounding cinematic style and outrageous shock moments, while a swathe of even newer titles – like Oldboy and Koma – wait in the wings for their chance to leave audiences breathless. Now, it seems inconceivable that, once upon a time, Asia Extreme didn’t exist at all. Heres the story of the origin and development of the most exciting and unique of all contemporary genres.

Summary: "The long-awaited retrospective from the internationally renowned film director celebrated for his visually lush and atmospheric films. Wong Kar Wai is known for his romantic and stylish films that explore—in saturated, cinematic scenes—themes of love, longing, and the burden of memory. His style reveals a fascination with mood and texture, and a sense of place figures prominently. In this volume, the first on his entire body of work, Wong Kar Wai and writer John Powers explore Wong’s complete oeuvre in the locations of some of his most famous scenes. The book is structured as six conversations between Powers and Wong (each in a different locale), including the restaurant where he shot In the Mood for Love and the snack bar where he shot Chungking Express. Discussing each of Wong’s eleven films, the conversations also explore Wong’s trademark themes of time, nostalgia, and beauty, and their roots in his personal life. This first book by Wong Kar Wai, lavishly illustrated with more than 250 photographs and film stills and featuring an opening critical essay by Powers, WKW: The Cinema of Wong Kar Wei is as evocative as walking into one of Wong’s lush films."
