“An interesting and detailed look at one of the most vital movements in the film industry during the latter part of the twentieth century. Pak’s work not only gives an informative overview of the origins of the movement, but goes into detail about the works of some of the most notable New Wave directors, including Tsui Hark, Ann Hui, and Patrick Tam, and the effects their pictures had on film-makers from all over the world.”

Neil Koch, HKfilm.net

"The content divided between the background and development of Hong Kong New Wave cinema and critical appraisals of central directors plus author Cheuk’s nuanced comprehension from proximity to the subject make the work of particular interest to students of contemporary cinema." – Henry Berry, gather.com

"A resource for curious film buffs who want to gain some background knowledge. For the English reader who’s just seen Tsui Hark’s The Butterfly Murders and is scratching his head in need of guidance, this translation is the best guide."
