Description:

This course examines Chinese language films that are well known to general audiences in America or film festival devotees. The films to be discussed in the class consist of popular as well as arthouse films by Chinese, Hong Kongese, Taiwanese and overseas directors made in the period from the last two decades of the twentieth-century into the new millennium (2007). We will explore the representative genres and structuralist aesthetics of the fast changing cinematic images of China and look into the dialectical construction of public and private space of Chinese film in view of a globalized audience.
