Review of The Artist (2011) by Salman F — 16 Nov 2018
Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond quote: "We didn't need dialogue. We had faces!" from "Sunset Boulevard." "The Artist" isn't shown by people who wanna watch movies like 'movies' but this is one of the perfect films if you understand what the essence of the film really is.
People don't like the format so they think it's cheap. Behind the overrated which wipe out various awards, this is more stylized than other color films. We don't need dialogue, the gesture is enough to tell the story.
Jean Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo are like two characters with reciprocity, are interconnected, inspire each other, so are the actors. Michel Hazanavicius' cinematography is a unique achievement and enchantment.
"The Artist" imitating an art in a movie. A silent film which is more than that.
