第68届戛纳电影节于周三晚上在法国南部戛纳海滨度假地拉开帷幕。

The opening ceremony, hosted by French actor Lambert Wilson, took place in the Palace of the Festival, followed by the red carpet where the jury and the crew of the opening film were presented to the grand public.

开幕式在电影宫召开，由法国男演员演员兰伯特威尔逊主持，随后是戛纳红毯，陪审团和开幕影片向公众亮相。

This year's opening film is the French movie La Tete Haute (Standing Tall) by French actress, film director and screenwriter Emmanuelle Bercot.

今年的开幕影片由法国女演员，电影导演和编剧艾玛纽尔?贝克执导的作品《昂首挺胸》(Standing Tall)。

This is the second time in Cannes Film Festival's history that the opening film is directed by a woman. The movie is about the life journey of a boy called Malony, from age six to 18, through the juvenile justice system, and the tireless efforts of a judge and a counselor to save him.

这是第二次戛纳电影节播放由女导演拍摄的开幕片。这部电影讲述的是一个叫Malony的男孩，从六岁到十八岁通过少年司法系统，在法官和法律顾问不懈的努力下被拯救的过程。

"Emmanuelle Bercot's film makes important statements about contemporary society, in keeping with modern cinema. It focusses on universal social issues, making it a perfect fit for the global audience at Cannes," said Thierry Frémaux, director of the festival.

艾玛纽尔?贝克的电影用现代电影的方式给当今社会“当头一棒。这部电影把焦点放在了普遍社会问题上，使其在戛纳电影节上与全球观众完美结合。戛纳电影节导演Thierry Frémaux如是说。
