Michelle Yeoh Attends Premiere "The Lady"

Jakarta (Antara Bali) - World popular artist Michelle Yeoh has the chance to attend the premiere of "The Lady" movie in Jakarta.

"I am very happy to have the chance attend the premiere of 'The Lady' in Jakarta, this is a nice city," she said at a press conference here on Sunday.

The film, directed by Luc Besson, depicts the poignant love story of the modern world's most prominent prisoner of conscience Aung San Suu Kyi (Michelle Yeoh) and her final ten years of marriage to the academic Dr Michael Aris (David Thewlis).

Yeoh noted about "The Lady" that she was very proud and honored to play the heroine of democracy in Burma.

"I adore her as a heroine, Aung San Suu Skyi is a very tough and strong woman, I am very proud to play her figure on the movie," she said.

She added "The Lady" was not just about Burmese politics, but more about concern on the drama in Suu Kyi's life in the last ten years being separated from her family, husband and children.(IGT/T007)
