Overview

• Michelle Yeoh served on the Cannes jury in 2002 and found the process intense.
• She watched two or three movies a day, some of which were not lighthearted and difficult to process.
• David Lynch, the president of her jury, was a steadying force.
• Yeoh felt emotional towards the end of the process and has not agreed to do another jury since then.
• She would consider coming back if offered the position of jury president and recently celebrated her Oscar win with Asian film luminaries in Hong Kong.
