More Sex, Better Zen, Faster Bullets (häftad, eng)

Hong Kong films tore up kung fu stereotypes in the 1980s/90s. This is the definitive book on stunt hazards, pistol ballets, snarky gangsters and toothsome molls, hopping vampires, and Hong Kong noir. Start with John, Jacky and Michelle - evolve to Johnnie To, Ringo Lam, the fantastic world of Tsui Hark, and the auteurdrome of Wong Kar-wai.

How and why did films from Hong Kong - a British Crown Colony and mapspeck - become so popular? More Sex, Better Zen, Faster Bullets explicates, amplifies, and just plain rips across genres and filmmakers in one of the world''s most storied film industries.
