Filming Margins : Tang Shu Shuen, A Forgotten Hong Kong Woman Film Director

名人推薦：

""Through the examination of the work of a female director, whose contribution to Hong Kong cinema was so belatedly, reluctantly, and still only partially recognized, Yau makes a strong case for re-evaluating film scholarship in Hong Kong. Her eloquent writing engages readers in a multi-level investigation of the patriarchal system which fails to appreciate one of its best. This very well researched project has connected itself broadly to the cine-feminist debates of the West while re-contextualizing such debates within an equally well researched local Hong Kong context."" – Jenny Kwok Wah Lau, Professor in Film, Cinema Department, San Francisco State University

""Yau Ching elegantly uses her personal experience as a Hong Kong born scholar/artist/filmmaker to unravel one of the most fascinating enigmas in contemporary Hong Kong film history: the alluring figure of Tang Shu Shuen, who directed four films, became a cult figure almost to the point of festishization, and then disappeared. Drawing from extensive historical and theoretical research, Professor Yau raises thought-provoking questions about the nature of female authorship, cultural hybridity, feminine masquerade and gender representation in the Hong Kong film industry. A must for every student and scholar in cinema studies, the book fills a gap by finally producing a well-informed critical discourse on a major female director."" – Berenice Reynaud, California Institute of the Arts; Author, Nouvelles Chinese, nouveaux cinemas (Paris, 1999) and Hou Hsiao-hsien's A City of Sadness (London, 2002).
