Cannes (France) (AFP) - "The Artist" director Michel Hazanavicius followed up his Oscar winner with a Chechen war drama, again starring his wife Berenice Bejo, which disappointed Cannes critics on Wednesday. "The Search", a remake of a post-World War II classic by Fred Zinnemann, features Bejo as Carole, a human rights official for the European Union during the second Chechen conflict in 1999. She grows increasingly exasperated by the indifference of her bosses in Brussels, spurred on by an American charity worker (Annette Bening), who tells her her reports are useless if they don't lead to Western intervention. Hazanavicius' "The Artist", an ironic, affectionate take on Hollywood's silent age, was a box office smash and won five Oscars in 2012 including best picture, best director and best actor for Jean Dujardin.
