Scholarly, yet also rather beautiful essay exploring not just the 'difference' of WKW, but what defines his films. |

|
Great essay arguing (perhaps slightly too far) that WKW is representative of HK (entertainment) culture - completely at odds with the following essay below. |
|

|
Essay written by someone who admits to being 'not steeped in Hong Kong culture' - scholarly, but veers too close to looking purely at genre and socio-cultural readings - slightly tendencious in dismissing dominant cinema as the antithesis of WKW, and in rating WKW based on genre subversion (Ashes Of Time his 'most disappointing effort'? Oh, come on!). |
