{"product_id":"city-on-fire-hong-kong-cinema-9781859842034","title":"City on Fire: Hong Kong Cinema","description":"Hong Kong's film industry gained global attention in the 1980s, at the time of negotiations over Great Britain's return of the colony to China. Uncertainty about the post-handover era accelerated Hong Kong's race for economic growth, and found expression in cinema's depictions of a 'city on fire.' In this accessible introduction to the extraordinary cinematic output of the colony, Michael Hoover and Lisa Stokes review the directors and films that have established Hong Kong cinema internationally: John Woo's martial arts 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781859842034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.75h x 7.71w x 1.03d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/09\/1999 pg. 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/1999 pg. 196\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Michael Hoover, Lisa Odham Stokes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44916262437045,"sku":"9781859842034","price":33.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_545b987d-10ec-41ee-a54c-6974239ecdac.jpg?v=1734449674","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/city-on-fire-hong-kong-cinema-9781859842034","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
