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.

This essential guide explores up to 20 seminal films in detail, with particular focus on recurring themes, directors, and stars. Each chapter covers a different branch of the genre from Hong Kong Legends such as Once Upon a Time in China and Enter the Dragon, to Modern Asian Classics like House of the Flying Daggers to the incursion into Hollywood in films such as The Karate Kid and The Matrix. The development of the genre from 1920s China to the present is traced with analysis and explanations of the different martial arts seen in these films in an entertaining guide to the vast array of martial arts movies and their role in modern cinema.Notes: Includes, bibliographic references, index and index of quotations
