CITY ON FIRE: Hong Kong Cinema
By Lisa Odham Stokes
and Michael Hoover
Verso, 372 pages


A tour-de-force analysis of Hong Kong's film genres, including John Woo's martial arts with automatic weapons flicks, Tsui Hark's wire-worked fantasies, Ann Hui's exile melodramas, Stanley Kwan's limpid romances, and Wong Kar Wai's stylish art films.
