Synopsis
This guide considers Western audiences' growing fascination with Asian cinema. Resisting the temptation to cast Asian cinema as a gallery of exotic and foreign curiosities, this book places "unfamiliar" cases studies within the context of "familiar" areas of critical discourse in order to investigate the limitations of western theoretical models and paradigms. Case studies include Hong Kong and Turkish cinema, Hindi melodramas, Godzilla films, Taiwanese directors, Fifth Generation Chinese cinema, and the works of Ozu and Bruce Lee.
