... that An Amorous History of the Silver Screen, an exploration of more than four decades of film in China, positions cinema as a modern folk tale?

— Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:52, 11 December 2024 (UTC). Long enough, new enough. Article is in a presentable condition. I can't access the source but it seems reliable. You need to make clear that "modern folk tale" is a quote. Obviously this is always going to be a fairly niche subject, but I think changing "positions cinema as a" to "argues that cinema is a" would increase its appeal.

Fair enough. See ALT2: ... that An Amorous History of the Silver Screen, an exploration of more than four decades of film in China, argues that cinema is a modern folk tale? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:30, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
