Overview
This dissertation seeks to determine whether the cycle of films produced after the Fall of the Gang of Four in the People's Republic of China in 1976 constitutes a major break with the classical mainland Chinese cinema.Synopsis
This book argues that the fundamental shift in Chinese Cinema away from Socialism and towards Post-Socialism can be located earlier than the emergence of the "Fifth Generation" in the mid-eighties when it is usually assumed to have occured. By close analysis of films from the 1949-1976 Maoist era in comparison with 1976-81 films representing the Cultural Revolution, it demonstrates that the latter already breaks away from Socialism.Book Details
