Böcker av Darrell William Davis

Covers thirty-two films from Taiwan, addressing a flowering of new talent, moving from art film to genre pictures, and nonfiction. This volume is a comprehensive, judicious take on Taiwan cinema that fills gaps in the literature, offers a renewed historiography, and introduces new creative force and voices of Taiwan's moving image culture.

Providing an historical and cultural exploration, this text demonstrates the role Japanese cinema played in the 1930s in the construction of a national identity, and in terms of the larger context of Japan's encounter with the West and with modernity.
