Review
" Speaking in Images is at once an impressive introduction to who's who in Chinese cinema, a revealing glimpse into Chinese filmmaking history, and the kind of conversation that you don't want to end. " -- Bill Kong
, producer, Hero, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Springtime in a Small Town
"Chinese-language filmmaking has entered a new era. Michael Berry's unique access to filmmakers and his deep knowledge of Chinese culture and film history have yielded probing, insightful portraits of major creative figures. From Beijing to Hong Kong, from Shanghai to Taipei, these directors are creating today's most exciting regional cinema." -- David Bordwell, author of Planet Hong Kong: Popular Cinema and the Art of Entertainment
" Speaking in Images gives you the stories of individual artists, articulating their own perspectives toward their art, their working methods, their inspirations, the problems they've encountered. It also provides a marvelous portrait of not one but three societies -- mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan" -- Martin Scorsese, from the foreword
