Lou Ye
- Name: Lou Ye
- Native name: 娄烨
- Nationality: Chinese
- Gender: Male
- Born: March 1, 1965
- Age: 59
In 2003 Lou released Purple Butterfly starring Zhang Ziyi. The film is a tale of revenge and betrayal taking place during the Japanese occupation of Shanghai, with a complex narrative structure borrowing heavily from film noir traditions.
Lou's next film, Summer Palace (2006), a story of two lovers in the backdrop of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, again brought Lou into conflict with Chinese authorities, resulting in a five-year ban for both him and his producer. In order to circumvent the ban, his next film, Spring Fever, was shot surreptitiously in Nanjing and registered as a Hong Kong-French coproduction to avoid censors. The film was shown in competition at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival where writer Mei Feng won the Best Screenplay award.
In 1998, Lou, along with actress Nai An (who had starred in his first two films, and would go on to star in Suzhou River) started the production company Dream Factory, which would go on to produce all of Lou's films.
