Focusing on the evolution of Hong Kong cinema, the book explores the impact of the city's transition from British to Chinese sovereignty and the subsequent rise of China's film industry. It introduces the concept of "Cinema of Transitions" to analyze the New Hong Kong Cinema, examining both on-screen narratives and the off-screen realities from the 1980s to the present. Through various examples, the author provides insights into how Hong Kong-related films and filmmakers reflect and negotiate cultural and industrial transitions within East Asia's cinematic landscape.
