merican writer and scriptwriter Lee Server has traveled all around Asia in search of eccentricities from the oriental cinema. He created a luxurious book dealing with the HK action flicks, with the modern cinema and manga from Japan, with the Korean cinema and with very badly known cinema industries from Philippines, south east Asia or India. Plus, there are exclusive and fascinating interviews with leading directors and scriptwriters (John Woo, Tomoaki Hosoyama, Jose Lacaba).

This book full of beautiful colour films stills, posters, behind-the-scene photos is as useful for novices that it is for specialists looking for info on Asian Pop Cinema.
