The Artist is itself a silent film, in black and white with music and English title-cards. Shot in Los Angeles and painstakingly researched, The Artist’s lead, Jean Dujardin won the Best Actor Award at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival where it premiered. It was also one of the top films at the Toronto Film Festival.
