Director Anng Lee's controversial 'Lust, Caution' is in the running for the foreign film prize at the 2008 British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards.

The adult drama was named on Friday as one of five films nominated for the non-English language prize, and will go up against the Dari Persian 'The Kite Runner', the German-language 'The Lives of Others', and the French-speaking films 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly' and the Edith Piaf biopic 'La Vie En Rose'.

The shortlist for Best Foreign Film comes more than a week before the main BAFTA nominations are announced on January 16.

The winners will be revealed at a lavish ceremony at London's Royal Opera House on 10 February.
