Electric Shadows

Captured are the industry trends and problems. Stokes & Hoover treat film as an art form, providing interesting snippets of plots, describing film characters and explaining production techniques and directorial motives. From Woo's martial arts with weapons, to Ringo Lam's docudramas, Ann Hui's new wave and Triad Boyz-type gangster films of the mid 90's. The result is a critically interpreted, thoroughly researched and documented look at Hong Kong cinema.
