The New York Film Critics Circle has picked a black-and-white French film that pays homage to silent movies as it’s best film of 2011.
The Artist was directed by Michel Hazanavicius, who was named as the best director.

No stranger to awards, Meryl Streep’s depiction of Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady earned her the Circle’s best actress honour.
