Mystery (2012) (DVD) (English Subtitled) (Taiwan Version)

Product Description

Coming off a five-year filmmaking ban for screening Summer Palace at Cannes in 2006 without government approval, Sixth Generation maverick Lou Ye released his first film in China in nearly a decade in 2012. Though Mystery made it pass the censors eventually, it was not without controversy as the director encountered challenges over the films violence & sexual content & publicly aired his disapproval of the censorship process. Mystery was shown in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2012 Cannes Festival & won Best Film & Best Screenwriter at the 7th Asian Film Awards.

Hao Lei ( Summer Palace), Qin Hao ( Spring Fever) & award-winning newcomer Qi Xi star in the dark, beguiling drama about infidelity, corruption & violence in modern China. Set in Wuhan, Mystery opens with the scene of a woman being run over on a rainy mountainside road by wealthy, reckless youth. The accident is the culmination of another gradually revealed dispute: a middle-class familys derailing after the wife discovers her husband has a string of mistresses on the side.
