Having triumphed in last year's Tokyo International Film Festival, winning Best Artistic Contribution and Best Actress for star Fan Bingbing, Li Yu's youth film Buddha Mountain begins showing nationwide Friday.
The female Li is known for previous artistic works including Fish and Elephant (2001), known as China's first lesbian film, and won awards in the Berlin and Venice film festivals. Her Dam Street (2005) also received international acclaim as did Lost in Beijing (2006), the graphic sexual content of which led to a long and unsuccessful battle with domestic censors. Indeed, none of Li's films have enjoyed a cinematic release in her own country.
But her fourth feature film, Buddha Mountain lacks sexual, violent or political content and is, in fact, a relatively mild story. "It [the banning of Lost in Beijing] got on my nerves and I couldn't sleep at nights. I was too stubborn at that time. I have now formed a better relationship with the censorship people, and found a win-win solution: a good film for me that also caused no problem for them," Li told the Global Times.
