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.

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 BLURBNotes: Contains list of figures and notes on Chinese names and film titles -- Includes filmography, bibliographic references and indexISBN: 9781137311191Contents: Part 1: Theorising Sinophone cinemas -- Framing Sinophone cinemas / Audrey Yue and Olivia Khoo -- Genealogies of four critical paradigms in Chinese-language film studies / Sheldon H.
