'This work offers comprehensive coverage at a time when Chinese
cinema has won international acclaim. The essays alone offer great
assistance, but when coupled with the cross-referenced entries and
the handsome photographs, the work's value crystallizes. A thorough
bibliography, multiple indexes and an annotated list of select
websites further enhance this volume. Highly recommended for all
academic libraries; there is no comparable reference.' - Library
Journal
'There have been scholarly studies of certain aspects of Chinese
cinema in English before, but this Encyclopedia is unique in its
scope. The volume is a splendid contribution to the study of one of
the most important film traditions outside Hollywood. All students
of the Chinese cinema will want a copy.' - Times Literary
Supplement
'...represents a real step forward for the documentation of Chinese
cinema.' - Sight and Sound
'Film librarians will welcome Routledge's Encyclopedia of Chinese
Film. There is little else in the reference literature that covers
Chinese film as comprehensively, especially in a single volume ...
a well-balanced mix of articles. Editors Yingjin Zhang and Zhiwei
Xiao deserve credit for a useful, thorough treatment of an
important and interesting topic. Academic libraries and large
public libraries will find this a valuable addition to their film
reference collections.' - Against the Grain
'This one-volume encyclopedia is a well-stocked supermarket for the
student of Chinese film and a handy reference work for any scholar
working with films from mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong.' -
