Ziyi Zhang: Berlin Film Festival Fun

Ziyi Zhang attends the premiere for her latest film, Forever Enthralled, during the 2009 Berlin Film Festival at the Grand Hyatt Hotel on Tuesday (February 10) in Berlin, Germany.

According to Reuters, Forever Enthralled plays homage to Mei Lanfang, one of the country’s most celebrated exponents of Peking Opera, a traditional Chinese performance art that includes mime, dance, gender-swapping and a shrill, nasal singing style.

Ziyi said Mei‘s life showed how important liberty was. “Freedom is the most powerful thing in life,” she said. “Sometimes people keep an eye on you, but I still think we have to try as much as we can to keep (our) freedom.”
