Legendary director, John Woo attended the Lumière Film Festival 2025 Awards Ceremony in Lyon, France. It’s always great to see Mr. Woo, but it hurts my heart to see him in the state he is in after a stroke in 2021. At 79 years old, it is a miracle he is healthy enough to direct and enjoy life again 🙏👏 Respect! #johnwoo #filmfestival #legend #movies | Preserved Dragons
