Description
John Woo: The Films provides an in-depth analysis of the motion picture career of the celebrated Hong Kong director. First published in 1999, this second edition has been updated to include additional information on John Woo's Hollywood productions and his epic Red Cliff, filmed in China.
The book explores Woo's film career from his early beginnings in 1968 through his first three Hollywood releases, situating his work within Asian and Western cinematic and cultural traditions. A new foreword by Tony Williams adds further insight into Woo's work.
