A DARK melodrama by director Lou Ye heads entries in the best film category at Taiwan's Golden Horse Film festival, catapulting Chinese mainland cinema to center stage at the event considered the Chinese-language Oscars.
"Mystery" tells the story of a mild-mannered woman who seeks revenge after uncovering her husband's infidelity.
Aside from best picture award, Lou is also up for best director and Hao Lei, the film's female protagonist, is a candidate for best actress.
The awards ceremony will be held in Taipei tonight.
Lou's films have long focused on sensitive subjects like sex, violence and politics.
In the best picture category, "Mystery" faces tough competition from Hong Kong director Johnnie To's "Life Without Principle," a movie about ordinary citizens caught in the fallout of the global financial meltdown.
To is also up for best director. Lau Ching Wan, who portrays a triad thug seeking to recover money lost in a loan shark scheme, is seen as a hot contender for best actor.
Taiwan's "Gf-Bf" has seven nominations, including for film and director. Joseph Chang portrays a gay man in a romantic triangle involving three former classmates.
Also up for the best film award are "Beijing Blues," about plainclothes crime-hunters, and "The Bullet Vanishes," a Hong Kong-mainland co-production about a detective investigating a series of murders in 1930s Shanghai.
