Publisher Description Hong Kongs film industry gained global attention in the 1980s, at the time of negotiations over Great Britains return of the colony to China. Uncertainty about the post-handover era accelerated Hong Kongs race for economic growth, and found expression in cinemas depictions of a city on fire. In this accessible introduction to the extraordinary cinematic output of the colony, Michael Hoover and Lisa Stokes review the directors and films that have established Hong Kong cinema internationally: John Woos martial arts flicks, Tsui Harks wire-worked fantasies, Ann Huis exile melodramas, Stanley Kwans limpid romances, and Wong Kar-wais stylish art films.
