“fills a major gap...a useful filmography”—<i>Choice</i>; “the first book-study of the director’s films in English and as such, it is a worthwhile introduction, containing a brief biography, critical overview, interview, and analysis of his various film projects...a valuable introduction”—<i>Film Quarterly</i>; “well-written...a must”—<i>Hitch</i>; “a must...a thorough, impassioned exploration”—<i>VideoScope</i>; “the first of its kind about Tsui Hark”—<i>Cult Movies.</i>

Tsui Hark, one of China's most famous film artists, is little known outside of Asia even though he has directed, produced, written, or acted in dozens of film, some of which are considered to be classics of modern Asian cinema. This work begins with a biography of the man and a look at his place in Hong Kong and world cinema, his influences, and his thematic obsessions. Each major film of his career is then reviewed, production details are provided, and comments from Tsui Hark himself are given.
