"This book investigates major Chinese-language films from mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong in order to unpack a hypercompressed capitalist modernity with distinctive Chinese characteristics.… A deeply cultural, determinedly historical, and deliberately interdisciplinary study, it approaches ‘culture’ anthropologically, as a way of life emanating from the everyday, and aesthetically, as imaginative forms and creative expressions."
