The internets gave us first looks at Wild Bunch’s upcoming Croisette-bound slate (Ken Loach and Cristian Mungiu) but a trio of EFM sales titles that might also break into the line-up (or worse case be kept for Venice) appear to have gone unnoticed.

After his five year ban, Mystery is his film shot in China revolves around an investigation into the mysterious death of a young woman involved with a married businessman. I believe thesps Hao Lei (Summer Palace) and Qin Hao (Spring Fever) are in the final pic below.
