| The Cinema of Tsui Hark is now available! The first book devoted solely to the work of Tsui Hark, it examines all aspects of Tsui's career - director, producer, production company head, actor, artist, trend-setter. The book includes a complete critical overview of Tsui's career, extensive analyses of his key films, and shorter reviews of every film Tsui Hark has been associated with. The book also features extensive interviews with Tsui, photos, an annotated bibliography, filmographies and more. The book was published by McFarland in an illustrated hardback binding. |
| "If I were forced to make a list of my favorite Hong Kong movies, titles like Iron Monkey, Time and Tide, Black Mask and the Once Upon a Time in China series would be included. All these have in common the involvement of writer/director/producer Tsui Hark, one of the most creative filmmakers not only in his homeland, but all the world. Morton cleaerly has a love for her subject, which gives her book a sense of energy, but thankfully never treads into ass-kissing. It begins with an essay that serves as a nice overview to Hark and his wildly varied career. The majority of the book is taken up by analyses of each film, but the real meat is a lengthy Q&A with Hark himself. He seems like a smart guy (so one wonders why he said yes to Van Damme twice) and Morton takes a similar approach with her well-written book - a must for Hark and HK film fans." |
