NOTE
ON
ROMANISATION
I have used Pinyin for Chinese film titles throughout the book, whilst the names of characters appear as they do in their official English subtitles. I have not included original Chinese film titles in Chinese characters but I do use the Pinyin Romanisation of the Mandarin rendering of the original film titles. These are written in parenthesis after initial appearance as well as in the Filmography at the back of the book. As for the internationally known people and places, such as Tsai Mingliang and the Forbidden City, I have used their name as they appear in worldwide circulation, rather than their Pinyin Romanisation.
