THE LADY Galas

THE LADY is the extraordinary story of Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize winner at the core of Burma’s democracy movement, and her husband, Michael Aris. Michelle Yeah (CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON) gives a quietly riveting performance as Suu Kyi Equally impressive is David Thewlis (NAKED), in the dual roles of Michael Aris and his twin brother Anthony Despite distance, long separations and a dangerously hostile regime, Suu Kyi and Aris’ love endures until the very end. THE LADY reconstructs for the first time the true story of Burma’s national heroine Directed by international auteur Luc Besson, THE LADY is both a sweeping portrait of one of the most powerful political conflicts of the modern age and an intimate glimpse into a tender, touching marriage.
