The Lady a hit in Myanmar's black market
Pirate copies of a new film about Aung San Suu Kyi's private life have flooded the streets of Yangon as vendors push the boundaries of new-found freedoms under a new government.
Luc Besson's The Lady, a two-hour biopic starring Malaysian superstar Michelle Yeoh, received mixed reviews, but that has not deterred viewers taking home blurred DVDs with the Nobel laureate's celluloid reincarnation.
"The quality is not good but people buy it," one roadside vendor told AFP.
"People who have watched this film said the real lady is better than on the screen."
