John Woo’s Bullet in the Head
Autor Tony Williamsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2009
Though
underappreciated
in
contemporary
film
criticism,
Bullet
in
the
Head
is
a
landmark
in
John
Woo’s
career
as
a
film
director.
Featuring
strong
early
work
by
Hong
Kong
stars
such
as
Tony
Leung
Chiu-Wai
and
Simon
Yam,
the
film
functions
both
as
modern
Jacobean
revenge
tragedy
and
as
an
allegory
of
fears
surrounding
the
Tiananmen
Square
incident
for
Hong
Kong
residents
facing
reunification
with
China.
Detailing
the
circumstances
surrounding
production
and
the
role
of
leading
stars,
Tony
Williams
argues
for
the
film’s
central
importance
as
a
major
triumph
of
dynamic
Asian
cinema
and
assesses
its
significance
both
for
Hong
Kong
cinema
and
Woo’s
later
career.

Recenzii
“The
book
makes
a
compelling
case
for
examining
Bullet
in
the
Head
as
the
high
point
of
John
Woo’s
career
in
Hong
Kong.
Williams’s
knowledge
of
Hong
Kong
cinema
is
encyclopedic,
and
the
book
effectively
highlights
the
unique
place
of
this
‘apocalyptic
mel
“This
is
an
excellent
study
of
John
Woo’s
Bullet
in
the
Head
that
will
appeal
to
both
students
of
Hong
Kong
and
other
popular
Asian
cinemas
as
well
as
academics
working
in
the
field.
Williams
persuasively
locates
Woo’s
most
personal
and
gruelling
film
wit
