Cover of Yingjin Zhang: Chinese National Cinema (PDF)

This introduction to Chinese national cinema covers three ‘Chinas’: mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Historical and comparative perspectives bring out the parallel developments in these three Chinas, while critical analysis explores thematic and stylistic changes over time. As well as exploring artistic achievements and ideological debates, Yingjin Zhang examines how – despite the pressures placed on the industry from state control and rigid censorship – Chinese national cinema remains incapable of projecting a single unified picture, but rather portrays many different Chinas.
