Editorial Reviews
Review
An excellent introduction to Asian cinema. Screening the Past Each chapter is concise, clearly written, and accessible, giving a suitable foundation and introduction. Supplemented by more complex essays on individual films, this book should also be useful for upper level under-graduateand even MA courses. It will surely be popular with tecahers and students alike. Chris Berry, Goldsmiths College, Global Media and Communication (Vol. 3, 2007) Contemporary Asian Cinema is, therefore, certainly a welcome book that is not only valuable, but also an excellent introduction to Asian cinema. David Neo, La Trobe University
