About this book

Many contemporary Chinese films draw on literary works, a link that Hsiu-Chuang Deppman argues has often gone unnoticed. The book places a group of these films in the context of their literary origins.

Deppman asks how leading Chinese directors turn fictional narratives and styles into film, and what the cultural politics of that process involve. The films concerned have been popular with audiences around the world.

The book will interest scholars and students of Chinese film and literature, and any reader who wants to know where a well-known film began on the page.
