A teaser trailer for Luc Besson's The Lady has gone online and all it tells you is "This lady (played by Michelle Yeoh) is important to another country."  Americans have a tough time caring about any country other than our own (unless they foreign country is hit by a natural disaster and then we care for about a week or so) so this movie needs more than a teaser to get people interested.  You're not going to know from this teaser trailer that the movie is about Burma's Aung San Suu Kyi and her husband, Michael Aris (David Thewlis), and how the two of them forwarded the country's democratic movement.  Since the film opens in less than a month, it might be a good idea for Europa to get a full trailer out ASAP.

Hit the jump to check out the teaser trailer.  The Lady will play at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.  It opens September 12th.

Here's the synopsis for The Lady:

The Lady is the extraordinary story of Aung San Suu Kyi and her husband, Michael Aris. It is also the story of the peaceful quest of the woman who is at the core of Burma's democracy movement. Despite distance, long separations, and a dangerously hostile regime, their love endures until the very end. It's a story of devotion and human understanding set against a backdrop of political turmoil that continues today. The Lady was written over a period of three years by Rebecca Frayn. Interviews with key figures in Aung San Suu Kyi's entourage enabled her to reconstruct for the first time the true story of Burma's national heroine.
