A pioneering study of the startlingly original films by Chinese filmmakers of the 1980s, such as Judou, Raise the Red Lantern, and Farewell My Concubine. These films bring into vivid relief changes in Chinese society over several decades, drawing on interviews with directors including Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Tian Zhuangzhuang.Paul Clark's Chinese Cinema: Culture and Politics since 1949 was a groundbreaking book, and in Reinventing China, Clark continues his exploration of the changes in Chinese society and culture since the 1960s.

An indispensable close-up of Chinese cinema from the 1980s to the present.... [T]his book incorporates an unbeatable combination of close contact with Chinese filmmakers over two decades, the author's personal experience of living in and visiting China since the 1970s, and a historian's perspective on contemporary politics and culture. This very readable account of key directors and their works adds a fine critical judgment to the author's passion for cinema. - Bonnie S. McDougall Chair Professor of Chinese, University of Edinburgh
