Reviews
All in all, Thirty-two New Takes on Taiwan Cinema is a book that many cinephiles and scholars of Taiwan cinema have eagerly anticipated. I am confident that it will be invaluable to researchers and educators in the fields of Taiwan studies and cinema studies. By delving into the representative films studied in this anthology, readers should gain a profound understanding of the trajectory of Taiwan's sociopolitical transition over the past 70 years and its corresponding impact on the development of its cinema., Beyond the book's educational value, I believe that the editors and authors of this book successfully arouse readers' curiosity about the details of Taiwanese society, history, and its struggles, through thoughtful analysis of these films. . . . This book is thus more than a book on Taiwanese film: it curates Taiwan's history and struggles through the cinematic lens., The book's value is in its breadth: the editors have brought together scholars in media studies, cultural studies, and especially Taiwan film studies...With its presentation of diverse film texts and the creative endeavors behind them, the book will undoubtedly inspire more research on and interest in the films coming out of Taiwan., "Beyond the book's educational value, I believe that the editors and authors of this book successfully arouse readers' curiosity about the details of Taiwanese society, history, and its struggles, through thoughtful analysis of these films. . . .

Synopsis
Thirty-two New Takes on Taiwan Cinema covers thirty-two films from Taiwan, addressing a flowering of new talent, moving from art film to genre pictures, and nonaction. Beyond the conventional framework of privileging "New and Post-New Cinema," or prominence of auteurs or single films, this volume is a comprehensive, judicious take on Taiwan cinema that fills gaps in the literature, offers a renewed historiography, and introduces new creative force and voices of Taiwan's moving image culture to produce a leading and accessible work on Taiwan film and culture. Film-by-film is conceived as the main carrier of moving picture imagery for a majority of viewers, across the world. The curation offers an array of formal, historical, genre, sexual, social, and political. frames, which provide a rich brew of contexts. This surfeit of meanings is carried by individual films, one by one, which breaks down abstractions into narrative bites and outsized emotions., Thirty-two New Takes on Taiwan Cinema covers thirty-two films from Taiwan, addressing a flowering of new talent, moving from art film to genre pictures, and nonfiction.
