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 film's violence and sexual content and publicly aired his disapproval of the censorship process. Mystery was shown in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2012 Cannes Festival and won Best Film and Best Screenwriter at the 7th Asian Film Awards. Hao Lei ( Summer Palace ), Qin Hao ( Spring Fever ) and award-winning newcomer Qi Xi star in the dark, beguiling drama about infidelity, corruption and 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 family's derailing after the wife discovers her husband has a string of mistresses on the side.
