Maggie Cheung still plays hard to get, even in Venice

Chinese megastar Maggie Cheung, in Venice for the screening of Isaac Julien's art film “Better Life,” has shunned the celluloid since becoming the first Asian actress to win in Cannes in 2004.

The recognition for “Clean,” she said, “concluded one stage of my life” following her 2001 divorce from the film's French director, Olivier Assayas.

“I got my own fulfillment, or my own explanation to what I've done in the last 25 years,” she said of the best actress award.

“You didn't waste your time, you did do something significant ... and that was good to know; but it was enough for me to move on,” she told reporters on Saturday.

While she has turned down offers aside from the two-day gig for “Better Life,” the 45-year-old Cheung said she remains open to a project if the right one comes along.
