Contemporary Chinese Cinema in Historical and Cultural Context
Rey Chow places contemporary Chinese film in conversation with Chinese history and culture, using that wider frame to examine questions of collective identity among filmmakers associated with the period. The book addresses cinema not as an isolated popular form but as a site where cultural inheritance and shared artistic concerns can be considered together. Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou are named as key figures within this discussion, making the study a focused entry point into major directors of contemporary Chinese film and the contexts surrounding their work.
