ZIYI ZHANG - ZIYI'S BOLD BEHAVIOUR WOWS CANNES JURY

Young Chinese actress ZHANG ZIYI stunned her elders on the jury of this year's (06) Cannes Film Festival with her "bold" opinions, according to jury head WONG KAR-WAI. The Hong Kong film-maker headed the jury at the annual French festival, which included American SAMUEL L JACKSON, Italian MONICA BELLUCCI and Brits HELENA BONHAM CARTER and TIM ROTH. Kar-Wai, who directed the 27-year-old beauty in 2046, says, "She's very bold. "Even though she's very young, she's made quite a few movies. She's bold in expressing herself, so there isn't an issue of being timid because she's less experienced."
