Chinese cinema through visual culture and social deprivation
Rey Chow places modern Chinese film in conversation with Chinese history and cultural traditions of visual art. The book argues that cinema belongs within a longstanding visual lineage whose development has been suppressed, while examining how films engage emotional responses to social, political, and economic deprivation. Its frame joins film analysis with questions of visuality, sexuality, ethnography, and contemporary Chinese culture, making the cinema a site for considering broader historical pressures rather than an isolated popular form.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Students and scholars of Chinese cinema
