Marion Cotillard as Edith Piaf in Olivier Dahan's "La vie en rose" (original title "La Mome"), which will open the 2007 Berlin Film Festival.
Piaf's life was a roller coaster of triumph and tragedy, summed up in one of her most famous songs, "Non, je ne regrette rien."
The Berlinale is a mega event. Around 350 films are shown every year as part of the Berlinale's public programme, the majority of which are world or European premieres.
