Description:

An introduction to Chinese cinema that covers the "three Chinas": mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. It traces the formation, negotiation and problematization of the issue of national identity on the screen over 90 years.

Synopsis:

This introduction to Chinese national cinema covers three 'Chinas': mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Historical and comparative perspectives bring out the parallel developments in these three Chinas, while critical analysis explores thematic and stylistic changes over time. As well as exploring artistic achievements and ideological debates, Yingjin Zhang examines how - despite the pressures placed on the industry from state control and rigid censorship - Chinese national cinema remains incapable of projecting a single unified picture, but rather portrays many different Chinas.
