The 65th Berlin film festival opens on Thursday with Oscar winner Juliette Binoche starring as an early 20th-century Arctic explorer in Spanish director Isabel Coixet's period drama "Nobody Wants the Night". Set in the forbidding reaches of Greenland's frozen tundra, the film is based on the true story of Josephine Peary, the headstrong wife of Robert Peary, an American adventurer who led several drives to reach the North Pole. The French actress plays Josephine, who embarks on a dangerous trek in 1908 to find Robert (Gabriel Byrne) with the help of young Inuit woman Allaka, who she learns is her husband's mistress. Japan's Rinko Kikuchi, who was nominated for an Academy Award for her work in the 2006 drama "Babel", plays Allaka.
