Reviews

'Using a combination of brief scene analysis, city maps and insightful essays, Intellect's World Film Locations: Shanghai provides an illustrated tour through Shanghai's streets and its complex history.' 
*Patrick Gamble, CineVue*

'World Film Locations: Shanghai (2014) is a reader-friendly introduction offering detailed maps and screenshots of significant moments from the Chinese cinema of Shanghai. [...] Almost all the writers appear to have spent time living or working in Shanghai; many of them are photographers, directors, or film scholars who have had experience in filmmaking or studying cinema at an advanced level. In this way, the book seeks to ensure that the content has been created by cinema insiders who are in a position to offer their informed commentary. [...] Will have an appeal to film aficionados.'
