"A groundbreaking work that articulates a new methodology of theorizing and analyzing postcolonial cinema."--Hyon Joo Yoo, author of
Cinema at the Crossroads: Nation and the Subject in East Asian Cinema "This is the fruit of intense devotion to the study of Korean cinema. At a moment when interdisciplinarity and transnationality are virtual requisites within humanities disciplines, Jinsoo An's bold commitment to mining the layers and sometimes contradictions of individual films is remarkable. There is no more sustained and erudite examination of colonialism and film in Korea." --Steven Chung, author of
Split Screen Korea: Shin Sang-ok and Postwar Cinema "An offers a fresh perspective on South Korean cinema of the 1960s and 1970s. He reveals filmmakers' ongoing engagement with Japan and shows how representations of the colonial past were essential to the construction of South Korea's postcolonial and Cold War identity. An brings a new body of films into the critical conversation with a cinephile's passion and a theorist's rigor. A major contribution."--Christina Klein, author of
Cold War Orientalism: Asia in the Middlebrow Imagination, 1945-1961
