Reviews

The book is a crucial and very welcome examination of a film industry ... . the main strengths of this book is the author's ability to amalgamate the complex deconstruction of film style, paying close attention to cinematography, composition, editing, and narrative, with that of the wider geopolitical complexities of Taiwan's hybrid cultural landscape. (Mary J. Ainslie, International Journal of Taiwan Studies, Vol. 4 (2), 2021)
