The underlying thesis is that there is a symbiotic relationship between director and genre, and that To, as an auteur, has greatly influenced the trajectory in which the action genre has progressed in the Hong Kong cinema. The author's view is that To's idiosyncratic auterurist style transforms the generic conventions under which he is compelled to work, and that there is a discernible element of experimentalism in his most outstanding films. In addition, To modulates the film noir form to suit his local contexts, characters and locations, to create a highly personalized noir cinema in post-1997 Hong Kong.
