The 57th Berlin Film Festival opened on Thursday night on a French note, with the world premiere of "La Vie en Rose," which tells the story of Edith Piaf's rise from seedy poverty to glory.

Two Chinese movies, "Lost in Beijing" and "Tu Ya's Marriage," have entered the competition for the Golden Bear, competing with big movies such as George Clooney's "The Good German" and Robert De Niro's "The Good Shepherd."

Hong Kong film producer Shi Nansun, who is director Tsui Hark's wife, is on the Berlinale jury headed by Paul Schrader, who is showing his thriller "The Walker" out of competition.

Chinese competition entry "Lost in Beijing" is another film from young director Li Yu after her movie "Dam Street," which won several awards abroad. "Lost in Beijing" is about the bizarre relationships and conflicts between two couples and aims to shed light on ethical conflicts caused by differences between different social statuses.
