Reviews

This fascinating collection of scholarly articles and interviews provides a welcome corrective to the perception of cinema in Hong Kong consisting solely of mainstream productions. Uncovering a rich history of independent traditions from the 1960s to the present, the book is an indispensable reference for anyone interested in Hong Kong film and world cinema more generally. Tim Bergfelder, University of Southampton
