Book Description
Takes readers on a comprehensive tour of the urbanisation of Chinese cinema. Focusing primarily on movies from the end of the twentieth century, it is the first single-authored work to explore the relationship between the changes in Chinese society―caused in part by the advent of postsocialism, the growth of cities, and globalisation―and the transformation of Chinese cinema.
