The Artist, maybe?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Artist_(film)
More movies I recently saw at the film festival:
My Internship in Canada
Pretty good political satire about a low-profile Canadian MP whose vote becomes enormously important when the country is considering going to war and he's the tie-breaker in Parliament.
Demimonde
Hungarian costume drama about an aging Budapest courtesan just before World War I and her manipulations of her lovers - a wealthy architect and a moony young poet - and her two servants, one of whom knows too many of her secrets.
God Knows Where I Am
Excellent, very powerful documentary about a mentally-ill woman who spends a winter in an abandoned New Hampshire farmhouse, keeping a journal as she slowly starves to death. There are interviews with friends and family, but the script is otherwise almost entirely drawn from her sad, eerie journal.
The Lovers and the Despot
So-so documentary about Kim Jong-Il's minions' kidnapping of a South Korean director and his actress wife to help revivify the North's film industry. A bizarre incident but not all that great a movie.
Anthropocene
Pop science documentary about how humanity is changing the world around us through pollution, agriculture, urban sprawl, etc. Almost always interesting, and not as gloomy in its long-term outlook as you might expect.
