I hoped to represent each era of Chinese cinema from the Leftist movement of the 1930s to the present “Sixth Generation,” but found most available subtitled films are from the post-1978 reform period. Films from the Mao Zedong period (1949–76) are particularly scarce in the West due to Cold War politics, including a trade embargo and economic blockade lasting more than two decades, and within the arts, a resistance in the West to Soviet- influenced Socialist Realism. wo years ago I began a project, Translating New China’s Cine- Phase One.

Hai Feng © Gong Li, an iconic figure of Chinese cinema, has gained truly global renown during a remarkable, most singular career. She is the first Chinese actress to have achieved success at the major international festivals, such as Berlin, Venice and Cannes, where her performances have won great critical acclaim. Her prominence in the movie industry and her strong personality have also led to her presiding at many of the world’s film festivals. She has played central leading roles, bringing life and success to the works of famous directors such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and Michael Mann, among others. Her name will be forever linked to the Festival de Cannes, especially for her unforgettable performances in Zhang Yimou’s Grand Prix winner To Live and Chen Kaige’s Palme d’Or, Farewell My Concubine. Renowned for her great independence of mind, Gong Li constantly frees herself from stereotypes and only accepts the roles of very strong women. When she refused the role of James Bond girl in Tomorrow Never Dies, she declared: "The presentation of the female character was not complex enough to give me the material to fully express myself.

  • The Tragedy of Big Cast Includes Winona Ryder, Julianne Moore, Keanu Reeves, Monica Bellucci and Maria Bello, but Critics Were Divided on This One
    16 發光的城市 A R O U N D T O W N FRIDAY, JANUARY 1, 2010 • TAIPEI TIMES FILM REVIEW OTHER RELEASES COMPILED BY Martin WILLiams The Private Lives of Pippa Lee Robin Wright Penn is Pippa Lee, a housewife in Connecticut whose psychological history and social milieu makes it to the big screen courtesy of Rebecca Miller (daughter of Arthur Miller), who adapted her own work and directed. Pippa is married to publisher Alan Arkin and has an interesting network of friends, family and associates, but there’s no shortage of dissatisfaction in her life. Flashbacks to Pippa as a young woman (played by Blake Lively from TV’s Gossip Girl) help explain why. The tragedy of Big cast includes Winona Ryder, Julianne Moore, Keanu Reeves, Monica Bellucci and Maria Bello, but critics were divided on this one. Couples Retreat Vince Vaughn and wife travel to lovely Bora Bora for therapy along with three other couples, genius but the program on offer by the local resort chief (Jean Reno) is not quite what they BY HO YI expect. American critics STAFF REPORTER liked the actors but retreated from the rest of the production, which — as with many mainstream US comedies these days — injects surprisingly crude material throughout in the hope of appearing lively, if not funny. Om Shanti Om Bollywood films never took off in Taiwan, and while this week’s release (under the mini-festival title “Bling! Bling! Bollywood!”) of two big-budget odes to the movie industry won’t change that, it will surely remind adventurous local audiences of the dynamism of India’s filmmakers.

    VHD Index - 02 9/29/04 4:43 PM Page 715 Alternative Titles Index While it's true that we couldn't include every Asian cult flick in this slim little vol- ume—heck, there's dozens being dug out of vaults and slapped onto video as you read this—the one you're looking for just might be in here under a title you didn't know about. Most of these films have been released under more than one title, and while we've done our best to use the one that's most likely to be familiar, that doesn't guarantee you aren't trying to find Crippled Avengers and don't know we've got it as The Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms. And so, we've gathered as many alternative titles as we can find, including their original language title(s), and arranged them in alphabetical order in this index to help you out. Remember, English language articles ("a", "an", "the") are ignored in the sort, but foreign articles are NOT ignored. Hey, my Japanese is a little rusty, and some languages just don't have articles.

  • George Chun Han Wang Portare Il Sorriso in Tempi Che Cambiano: Il Cinema Comico a Taiwan
    Ufeff13_Libro_ITALIANO_Layout 1 12/04/2011 10:01 Pagina 361 ASIA RIDE! Taiwan George Chun Han Wang Portare il sorriso in tempi che cambiano: il cinema comico a Taiwan Da quando, nei primi anni Ottanta, si è affermato il movimento del nuovo cinema taiwanese, il mondo intero ha potuto scoprire delle autentiche gemme cinematografiche, dirette da icone del cinema autoria- le di Taiwan come Hou Hsiao-hsien, Edward Yang, Tsai Ming-liang e Ang Lee. I film d’autore provenienti da Taiwan continuano a generare entusiasmo all’estero, ma in patria le commedie locali sono state spesso accantonate perché ritenute grossolane, inferiori, poco originali e prive di meriti intellettuali. Per quanto ci possa essere del vero in queste discutibili generalizzazioni, il film comico non ha mai smesso di divertire il pubblico a Taiwan, strappando risate di cuore e creando deliziosi ricordi nei momenti felici e in quelli bui. Attraverso tutta la sua complessa storia, Taiwan ha avuto i suoi tempi duri. La vittoria degli alleati nel Pacifico nel 1945 pose fine a cinquant’anni di dominio coloniale del Giappone e la sovranità di Taiwan venne assunta dalla Repubblica di Cina. Dopo avere dato l’addio a un regime oppressivo, il popolo di quell’“isola del tesoro”, conosciuta anche come Formosa, finì sotto un nuovo governo, controllato dal partito nazio- nalista Kuomingtang (KMT) di Chiang Kai-shek. Quando fu evidente che anche questa amministrazione era autoritaria e corrotta, la popolazione locale si ribellò. Il 28 febbraio 1947 una sommossa antigovernativa venne violentemente repressa dal KMT, ci furono migliaia di arresti ed esecuzioni e quell’evento tragico, che venne poi ricordato come “Massacro 228”, segnò l’inizio dell’era del “Terrore Bianco”.
