A Look At Chinese Cinema: Too Much Capital, Too Few Quality Films.
I like Mr Ng’s comments, because he agrees with my key thesis that most of the Chinese film quality calamity comes down to the lack of an age verification system. Or in other words: the lack of willingness to treat the adult part of the audience as adults. The absence of such a system is the most powerful censorship instruments, limiting mature storytelling to the films made for the international festival markets – or not at all.
