Geng Jun’s “Bel Ami” (“Piaoliang pengyou”) is a queer film from the People’s Republic of China that will likely never see the light of cinema projectors in its home country. The film has caused quite a stir internationally. It was nominated in numerous categories at the prestigious Golden Horse Awards in Taipei and won three of the most important prizes: Best Editing: Chen Hoping, Best Cinematography: Wang Weihua, and, above all, Best Actor: Zhang Zhiyong.
