Features: With the rise of China's new generation of directors and cinema worldwide, research on the new ecological film theory has flourished like bamboo shoots after rain. Masterpieces such as Flower to Flower, Gun Hunter, Eclipse, Suzhou River, and The Bicycle of Seventeen brought by these new generation directors have opened up a different landscape for Chinese cinema. These new generation films seem to embody the saying, "Blossoms within the wall, fragrance outside—eventually, the fragrance returns within." What theoretical origins underlie this unique cinematic cultural phenomenon? This is one of the questions this book seeks to address.
