Why read it?

1 author picked Taiwan Cinema as Soft Power as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I think the author is very clever by bringing in the trendy concept of soft power and thus opening a new window for our understanding of Taiwan cinema.

I found the book not the easiest to read if you are not particularly familiar with the language of cultural studies or with specific films and filmmakers in Taiwan. However, the author has presented a convincing and valuable argument by linking a cinematic output to the entire system, which enables the production, circulation, and distribution of this output.

In other words, Taiwan cinema is a result, but the system that enriches creativity…

From Ming-Yeh's list on understanding and enjoying Taiwan cinema.
