Lou, 44, was banned from filmmaking in China for five years after he brought his last film Summer Palace (頤和園) — about the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests — to Cannes in 2006 without permission. He shot Spring Fever, a moody and sexually explicit drama that tracks the romantic entanglements of five characters over the course of a torrid spring season, with a small camera and without authorization in the city of Nanjing.
“I was worried I might be stopped from working — worried I might get a call from the Chinese Film Bureau,’’ he said on Friday.
