Abstract
This article aims to designate the differences between the Fifth Generation and the Sixth Generation, both of which constitute the importance of the recent Chinese cinema. By diagnosing the cultural phenomena and historical trajectories, the author investigates the two clusters with a Western theoretical framework. Three representative directors among the generations and their body of work are analysed with intensive case studies.
