Cannes crowd-pleaser The Artist — a black-and-white, silent (save the musical score) film about Hollywood in the ’20s — isn’t tampering with the poster that ushered in its success: The Weinstein Company is reusing the gorgeous shot that led to the movie’s best actor prize for Jean Dujardin.

In a curious but pleasant development, a latecomer to the Cannes competition lineup, announced just a week before the festival began, has suddenly become a possible front-runner for the Palme d’Or. Michel Hazanavicius’ The Artist, a silent film shot in Hollywood in black-and-white, screened this morning, and its sly charms seemed to win over a sizable portion of the audience — including me.
