ABSTRACT

Lou Ye is a prominent Chinese film director. His films have a distinct aesthetic style known as postmodern which have a subtle ambiguity. Lou Ye has combined the elements of urban lifestyle, sexual relations, and social classes to create a unique style of cinema in his films. This research paper will analyze Lou Ye's artistic style and how it portrays the women image on screen as well as his cinematic concerns that violated the Chinese film censorship system.
