The Artist, with Jean Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo, will enter the official competition!
The film, in black and white and mute, has thus joined the 19 other films competing for the Palme d'or, after having been previously quoted out of competition.
Michel Hazanavicius' The Artist took us to Hollywood in 1927. George Valentin is a silent movie star who smiles at everything. The arrival of the talking films will make him sink into oblivion. Peppy Miller, a young surrogate, will be propelled to the firmament of the stars.
Jean Dujardin and the director have already collaborated often, since they have shot, with success, the first episode of the OSS 117 (Cairo, nest of spy). American actor John Goodman is also part of The Artist's adventure.
