From the Publisher
"Johnnie To is one of the finest filmmakers working in the world today, and Stephen Teo situates his distinctive achievement within the wider context of Hong Kong politics, culture, and film production. Indepth analyses of To's films gain resonance from Teo's survey of the wider history of Hong Kong and its genre cinema. This, the first book-length study in English of To's work, is very likely to remain the best. It confirms Stephen Teo's stature as one of the foremost historians and critics of Chinese -language filmmaking." - David Bordwell, University of Wisconsin-Madison
About the Author
Stephen Teo is currently a research fellow at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore, and a senior associate of RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia. His latest work is King Hu's A Touch of Zen (Hong Kong University Press, 2007).
