Cosmopolitan Cinema: Cross-cultural Encounters in East Asian Film
Felicia Chan, Julian Ross, Lúcia Nagib
Films are produced, reviewed & watched worldwide, often circulating between cultural contexts. The book explores cosmopolitanism & its debates through the lens of East Asian cinemas from Hong Kong, China, Malaysia & Singapore, throwing doubt on the validity of national cinemas or definitive cultural boundaries.
Case studies illuminate the ambiguously gendered star persona of Taiwanese-Hong Kong actress Brigitte Lin, the fictional realism of director Jia Zhangke, the arcane process of selection for the Best Foreign Film Oscar & the intimate connection between cinema & identity in Hirokazu Koreeda's Afterlife (1998). Considering films, their audiences & tastemaking institutions, the book argues that cosmopolitan cinema does not smooth over difference, but rather puts it on display."
