Postsocialist Cinema in Post-Mao China The Cultural Revolution in the Films from the Prc

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.Berry, Chris is the author of 'Postsocialist Cinema in Post-Mao China The Cultural Revolution in the Films from the Prc' with ISBN 9780415947862 and ISBN 0415947863.
