The Cannes Film Festival celebrated its 60th anniversary Wednesday with an opening movie that blends an indie sensibility and a glittering cast: Wong Kar-wai's road trip tale starring Jude Law, Natalie Portman, Rachel Weisz and Norah Jones, in her acting debut.
The 11-day Riviera festival strives for just the right mix of arthouse films and star power, and ''My Blueberry Nights'' has both. Hong Kong director Wong (''In the Mood for Love'') is a Cannes favorite, as are many of the other filmmakers showing movies for the anniversary edition, including Michael Moore, Quentin Tarantino and the Coen brothers.
