Michelle Yeoh Recalls Intense Experience on Cannes Jury, Has Advice for This Year's Members

  • 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.
