Last summer there was a roundtable discussion about Hong Kong film that was published (in Chinese) in Xinmin Weekly. The lovely folks over at The Chinese Mirror: A Journal of Chinese Films History (www.chinesemirror.com) have just finished translating the entire proceedings into English. These are not casual Western film geek bloggers here, but boots on the ground Asian film specialists with a keen sense of Hong Kong cinema history and how it relates to the history and culture of Hong Kong. Their opinions are informed enough that they should be taken seriously, even if you don't whole-heartedly embrace them yourself. A very enlightening and though-provoking read from start to finish.

Here is the link to Part 1. Links to Parts 2-5 can be found there.

Chris,

I agree with you. Karen Fang's book is a very good corrective to Western misunderstandings of the film (and John Woo's HK films, generally).

Flagday,

None of the 5 segments are very long. You could probably sit down and read the whole thing from start to finish in about 20-30 min.
