Description

Asian Cinemas: A Reader and Guide by Professor Gary Needham is a comprehensive study of Asian cinemas from different cultural perspectives. This book explores the complexities of Anglo-US film studies and its relationship with Asian films, examining case studies such as Ozu, Bruce Lee, Hong Kong, Turkish cinema, Hindi melodramas, Godzilla films, Taiwanese directors, and Fifth Generation Chinese cinema. By engaging with familiar areas of critical discourse, Needham introduces these unfamiliar case studies to deepen understanding within established contexts. This approach allows for a nuanced exploration of Asian cinemas, moving beyond the exotic object trope and instead revealing their dynamic relationships with Western scholarship and audiences. This guide is an accessible resource for students and researchers, featuring contextual introductions and key texts by prominent scholars in the field.
