Cheung · Nick Nolte · Beatrice Dalle · Don McKellar · Emily Haines
This
harrowing performance won Maggie Cheung the award for Best Actress
at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival. Written (especially for her) and directed
by
ex-husband Olivier Assayas, this deeply disturbing film about a singer's
struggle with drug addiction may be Ms. Cheung's crowning achievement.
Maggie Cheung plays Emily Wong, a singer withering in a stalled career,
a destructive self-image and heroin addiction.
