Perspectives of Chinese Cinema (2)

"Perspectives of Chinese Cinema" is a revised and much expanded edition of a pioneering work, bringing together the best of contemporary critical writing on Chinese cinema from an international range of distinguished contributors.

It offers a broad and revealing view of Chinese cinema past and present, with particular emphasis on films of the new wave, "Fifth Generation" directors such as Yellow Earth and Red Sorghum, and on the political and economic struggles they face.
