An excellent and groundbreaking volume. This book is unique in its exclusive focus on Hou Hsiao-hsien and its extensive coverage and detailed analysis. Udden is equally attentive to the large historical and social framework shaping Hou and his cinema, the more immediate industrial and cultural determinations upon his production, and the particular aesthetic strategies he develops as his career builds. This book's very precise analyses of the films as well as their context make it the primary source for any scholar working on Hou in English." – Chris Berry, Goldsmiths, University of London
"Udden in this first book-length study on Hou Hsiao-hsien illuminates the most intriguing yet mystifying filmmaker in world cinema. No Man an Island is more than an auteur study; it offers an exuberant account of the history, culture, politics, and cinema of Taiwan. Employing a wide range of primary sources and captivating film analyses, Udden's style is accessible, witty, and sharp-edged. No Man an Island is without doubt a major discovery in the fields of Chinese-language cinema and film studies." – Emilie Yueh-yu Yeh, Hong Kong Baptist University
This pioneering study of Hou Hsiao-hsien illuminates the many distinctive achievements of Taiwan's famous director. His body of work in films such as The Puppetmaster, City of Sadness, and Flowers of Shanghai reflects a powerfully unique style characterized by intricate lighting, improvisational acting, and exceptionally long, static shots. James Udden argues that Hou's films reflect Taiwan's peculiar historical and geographical situation and could only have emerged there. Udden also examines the regional impact Hou’s films have had on other Asian directors and cinema artists.
