Editorial Reviews
Review
“Hong Zeng presents a much-needed theoretical exploration of Chinese-language film. The theory of exile provides a shared platform to discuss not only a variety of otherwise non-comparable Chinese-language films but also some critical aspects of Chinese films that had been insufficiently studied.” – Jie Zhang, assistant professor, Chinese Language, Literature and Cinema , Trinity College
