Chapter 32

Works by Fujita Toshiya, Tsui Hark, Quentin Tarantino

Each Tuesday

The Utopia of Film comprises some 50 chapters. It is a sequence of constellations and questions which change on a monthly basis. Each chapter contains several films. Each of the selected works is capable of standing on its own with its individual richness, but the totality of each chapter also provides a specific context. The Utopia of Film tells a history of films in their relation to each other and to society.

Chapter 32 (December 2008) deals with a tradition of "fighting women" characters in Asian and Crypto-Asian Cinema.
