2.City of Darkness - Life In Kowloon CityCity of Darkness - Life In Kowloon City
from Watermark
Price: $85.00

Customer Review:
It truly is sad this city no longer exists. It served an important purpose and may well have had a more important community feel than NYC or other cities that are just as "dark". The photographic essay Greg Girard did seems to capture all aspects of this super-condensed city.

from Picador
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:

I am deeply sad that the author Martin Booth is no longer with us. However, he left behind a treasure in this amazing memoir. This book is also published under the name "Gweilo." I hated coming to the end of this enchanting book and recommend it to everyone.

4.Asia Shock: Horror and Dark Cinema from Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and ThailandAsia Shock: Horror and Dark Cinema from Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and Thailand
from Stone Bridge Press
Price: $15.26

Customer Review:
I purchased the book because of the reviews and because there aren't that many books on J-Horror. A few things I didn't like- while the movie reviews are well written and quite obvious that the author has watched them- there is way too much detail, i.e. spoilers in the reviews. If you have not... more info

This history is well balanced, thoroughly researched and very readable.

from Harvard University Press
Price: $34.61

Customer Review:
Since John Woo and Jackie Chan hit it big in North America, there have been a ton of books on the Hong Kong film industry. Most of them are either poorly written or poorly presented. Or, worst of all, only focus on the figures (Woo & Chan) that people here in North America would... more info

8.Speaking in Images: Interviews with Contemporary Chinese Filmmakers (Global Chinese Culture)Speaking in Images: Interviews with Contemporary Chinese Filmmakers (Global Chinese Culture)
from Columbia University Press
Price: $73.50

Customer Review:
Fascinating interviews from virtually every prominent Chinese director working today, including Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Ang Lee, Hou Hsiao-hsien, and Edward Yang. Although, curiously, missing perhaps the most influential and "hip" auteur of all, Wong Kar-wai, it also includes... more info
