"As China and the West grow closer together year by year, Chinese cinema becomes increasingly Westernized and Western interest in Chinese cinema continues to grow. This book examines three recent award-winning films - Suzhou River (People's Republic of China, 2000), The Day the Sun Turned Cold (Hong Kong, 1994), and Good Men, Good Women (Taiwan, 1995) - concerned with the issues of developing globalization and the defense of local identity and culture." "Jerome Silbergeld explores the visuality of these films in unusual detail, taking account of the film makers' reliance on the metaphoric image in skirting Chinese film censorship. Silbergeld's text relates seemingly disparate elements of three films to create a new perspective on the latest and finest Chinese-language films, on the complexities of life in China's rapidly modernizing culture, and on the universal themes of politics and betrayal, honor and pity." "The book is illustrated entirely with actual frames from the films, rather than with the publicity stills used in most publications about Chinese cinema. The accompanying DVD includes key clips from each film and full-color versions of the book's illustrations."--BOOK JACKET.
