Summary:	"The critically acclaimed and popular Hong Kong 'New Wave' played a historically, economically and culturally significant role in Hong Kong and China's cinema industries. Hong Kong New Wave Cinema presents a comprehensive theoretical analysis of the movement, focusing on its historical context, style, and directors." "Cheuk engages with the aesthetic of the 'New Wave', exploring narrative content, structure and mise-en-scene to offer a thorough understanding of the genre. Additionally, Cheuk discusses the directors, analysing trends in their education (the majority are graduates from Western universities) and providing valuable insight into the directors' recurring themes - oppositions between East and West, rich and poor, and concerns with identity in Hong Kong. Hong Kong New Wave Cinema offers comprehensive coverage of the 'New Wave', contextualising the cinema and explaining its effects worldwide."--BOOK JACKET.
