Descriere

The trajectory of Hong Kong films had been drastically affected long before the city's official sovereignty transfer from the British to the Chinese in 1997. The author introduces the "Cinema of Transitions," using examples from the 1980s to the present, to study New Hong Kong Cinema and on- and off-screen life against this background.
