Determines whether the cycle of films produced after the fall of the "Gang of Four" in the People's China in 1976, and representing events during the Cultural Revolution decade of 1966-1976, constitutes a major break with mainland Chinese cinema that has been dominant in the country after 1949.
This book argues that the fundamental shift in Chinese Cinema away from Socialism and towards Post-Socialism can be located earlier than the emergence of the "Fifth Generation" in the mid-eighties when it is usually assumed to have occured. By close analysis of films from the 1949-1976 Maoist era in comparison with 1976-81 films representing the Cultural Revolution, it demonstrates that the latter already breaks away from Socialism.
