Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
The 28th Shanghai International Film Festival opened at the Grand Theatre with a star-studded red carpet featuring Michelle Yeoh, Tony Leung Chiu-wai (jury president), and other jurors. The ceremony focused on cinema's human core rather than geopolitical issues. A lifetime achievement honor was presented to centenarian actress Lisa Lu. The festival's opening highlighted Chinese-language cinema and its global connections.
