British actor Jude Law and US singer Norah Jones playing in the film "My blueberry nights" by Chinese director Wong Kar Wai who will become the first Chinese filmmaker to open the Cannes film festival

Singer Norah Jones kickstarts her acting career and the Cannes Film Festival tonight as she probes the meaning of love in Wong Kar Wai's 'My Blueberry Nights,' one of 22 movies vying for prizes in the annual cinematic contest.

Co-starring a scruffy Jude Law, the movie competes with a slew of works by independent U.S. filmmakers. Quentin Tarantino looks at a psychopath who kills women with his car in 'Death Proof.' Joel and Ethan Coen show a film about a hunter who finds dead bodies, a heroin stash and $2 million in 'No Country for Old Men.' Gus Van Sant's 'Paranoid Park,' meanwhile, depicts a teenage skateboarder who accidentally kills a security guard and keeps it quiet.

Out of the competition, Hollywood bluebloods George Clooney and Brad Pitt top the red-carpet lineup for Steven Soderbergh's 'Ocean's Thirteen.' Angelina Jolie flies in for her role as the widow of Daniel Pearl -- the U.S. reporter beheaded in 2002 -- in Michael Winterbottom's '`A Mighty Heart.'' And three years after winning the Palme d'Or for '`Fahrenheit 9/11,' Michael Moore brings a new film to Cannes: an attack on U.S. medical insurance.

'My Blueberry Nights,' also featuring Natalie Portman and Rachel Weisz, is Wong's first English-language movie. The Hong Kong filmmaker won the Cannes best-director award in 1997 for 'Happy Together.' He subsequently made 'In the Mood for Love' (2000) and '2046' (2004), both Cannes nominees.

This year, the nine-member jury will be steered by U.K. director Stephen Frears, whose 2006 'The Queen' won Helen Mirren a raft of best-actress awards. Jurors include actors Maggie Cheung, Toni Collette, Sarah Polley and Michel Piccoli, Mauritanian director Abderrahmane Sissako and the Nobel prizewinning Turkish author Orhan Pamuk.
