CITY ON FIRE: Hong Kong Cinema
By Lisa Odham Stokes
and Michael Hoover
Verso, 372 pages
I could not put this book down. This book stands out among other HK
cinema books with its "socio-historical context in which films are
placed and the critical political economy approach of the
analysis..." Authors Michael Hoover and Lisa Stokes weave a history
of Hong Kong cinema with plot narratives, industry 'gossip,' and
critical theory - making this perfect and comprehensive. Deatailed,
exciting and accessible, this is THE book on the subject. [Verso] en
