we can’t lie. there are times when we struggle so much with our nation’s policies, ideas, and (sordid) history that we take for granted the free speech that we are afforded by living in the US. Chinese director Lou Ye however, thoroughly understands that free speech in some places, has it’s limitations. BBC NEWS covers how Ye goes against China’s film ban with his film about homosexuality in china. Shot on the DL in Nanjing city, the film is about a wife’s quest to spy on the relationship between her husband and another man*
The film, Spring Fever, is up for the prestigious Palme d’Or (the highest prize at Cannes) this year. And even though Pedro Almodovar (We love you PEDRO!) is up for it too, we’re sending this film mad love.
*how you doin’!?!
