Description de l'ouvrage :
Traces the development of contemporary martial arts cinema in China
This updated edition is a comprehensive, fully researched account of the historical and contemporary development of the traditional martial arts genre in the Chinese cinema known as wuxia (literal translation: martial chivalry) - a genre which became familiar to audiences around the world through the phenomenal 'crossover' hit Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000). The book unveils rich layers of the wuxia tradition as it developed in the early Shanghai cinema in the late 1920s, and from the 1950s onwards, in the Hong Kong and Taiwan film industries.
New for this edition
• An additional chapter, which will take into account the recent developments in martial arts cinema including both kung fu and wuxia
• Explores how kung fu and wuxia are becoming more interlinked
• Includes analysis of new features such as Wilson Yip’s Ip Man series starring Donnie Yen, John Woo’s massive epic Red Cliff (released in two parts in 2008 and 2009), and Wong Kar-wai’s The Grandmaster (2013)
• Revised and updated throughout
