Cannes Excerpts: "Spring Fever"

May 14, 2009

Controversy hits Cannes on Thursday with the premiere of the latest flick from Chinese director Lou Ye. His movie on love and homosexuality was shot on the sly in eastern China despite a state work ban. Lou, who is halfway through a five-year ban on film-making imposed by China censors in 2006, will showcase his latest movie "Spring Fever", his third try for the festival's coveted Palme d'Or award. Excerpts of the film.
