Luc Besson

The Lady is the extraordinary story of Aung San Suu Kyi (Michelle Yeoh), the woman who is at the core of Burma's democracy movement, and her husband, Michael Aris (David Thewlis). Despite distance, long separations and a dangerously hostile regime, their love endures until the very end. It is a story of devotion and human understanding, set against a backdrop of political turmoil that continues today.

Ancient curses, all-powerful monsters, shape-changing assassins, scantily-clad stewardesses, laser battles, huge explosions, a perfect woman, a malcontent hero--what more can you ask of a big-budget science fiction movie? Luc Besson's high-octane film incorporates presidents, rock stars, and cab drivers into its peculiar plot, traversing worlds and encountering some pretty wild aliens.
