Summary Chinese director heads the entries in the best film category at Taiwan's Golden Horse Film festival.
Lou Ye s "Mystery" tells the story of a mild-mannered woman who mounts a radical revenge after uncovering her husband s infidelity.
Aside from best picture award at Saturday s ceremony, Lou is also up for best director and female protagonist Hao Lei is a candidate for best actress.
Lou s films have long focused on sensitive subjects like sex, violence and politics and have repeatedly been censored by China s cultural authorities. He was prohibited from filmmaking for five years after submitting "Summer Palace" to the Cannes festival without government approval in 2006.
