In the Heat of the Sun and Devils on the Doorstep are two of the finest and most honored Chinese films ever made. Body in Question is the first book to thoroughly examine these groundbreaking works and one of the first books in English to study individual Chinese films in depth.
These two award-winning films by renowned director-actor Jiang Wen and cinematographer Gu Changwei are unsurpassed in China for their exquisite attention to realistic detail, their stylistic range, their emotional breadth, and their razor-like commentary on contemporary China. In scenes that range from hilarious to horrific, China's ruling elite and its complicated relationship with Japan are subjected to the filmmakers' ironic treatment and profound concern with social justice. In the Heat of the Sun has become unavailable, and Devils on the Doorstep has been suppressed by the Chinese government. Jerome Silbergeld gives these two important films careful and extended study in Body in Question. He uses cinema and photography, political history, anthropology and philosophy, Chinese rhetorical traditions, and concepts of justice to explore the films' visual complexity and intellectual force, providing a unique look at the artistry and pressing concerns of Chinese cinema today. An accompanying DVD includes major clips from both films.

這書刷新瞭我對薑文電影的世界觀。作者對《陽光燦爛的日子》的解析真是奇葩又獨特,並且還理有據令人信服。看瞭此影評後讀其他對這部電影的解讀都算過傢傢。但問題是:根據Silbergeld對薑文的理解,若《陽光》真的是對理想的幻滅與反懷舊,那麼薑文在《讓子彈飛》裏錶達的情懷則站在瞭此論點的對立麵。
評分西方視角的獨特之處和偏見都不可避免。很懷疑作者懂不懂中文,以西方對中國研究的文獻為基礎理解中國,得到的無非是想象中的東方
評分《陽光》強奸戲:“想象她曾渴望但現在背叛瞭他,馬小軍將米蘭視作羞恥物品,是他構建的神話在炎熱糟糕的夏天的破裂。後來證明強大的是米蘭,沒能讓馬小軍推倒,正如D順利渡過瞭那一年的青年動蕩。後者同樣以對身體政治的真誠欲求開始,卻以妄圖進入國傢內部聖域的暴力失敗終結。”然後就是《陽光》彩色變黑白,和《鬼子》黑白變彩色的發現吧。套中國傳統和到處引作品感覺還蠻不爽的。
