Book Reviews of City on Fire: Hong Kong Cinema
Book Review: Decent appraisal of the of HK Cinema in the late 90's
Summary: 5 Stars
A pretty contemporary account of HK cinema. It focuses on the 80s/90s with a bit of historical background. The book is well balanced, political economy and social conditions are considered along with the film texts, a range of genres and filmmakers are covered. However it could provide better bibliographic info.
