4.0 out of 5 stars
no other book like this in english,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hong Kong Cinema: The Extra Dimensions (Paperback)
While there have been tons of books on HK cinema, they mostly touch on the popular movies, directors and stars. You hear of John Woo, Jackie Chan, Tsui Hark, Ringo Lam etc etc. But there are next to none, if any, on the history of HK cinema in English. This book is an essential read if one wants to know more about the political and cultural events that shaped HK cinema. Thankfully it isn't only just essential and informative, it also manages to be enjoyable.

This review is from: Hong Kong Cinema: The Extra Dimensions (Paperback)
If you're looking for true insight into the development of Hong Kong cinema, be sure to check out this informative yet entertaining work. While some other books on HK cinema are all flash and recommend the same few titles over and over, this book looks far beyond the surface. I found myself reaching to re-read sections over and over after viewing different films, wanting to refresh my memory on the stories behing their directors, stars, and genres as a whole.
Definitely recommended for those seriously interested in improving their appreciation of Hong Kong cinema. |
