Review of The Artist (2011) by Josh K — 04 May 2013
I loved this movie. Everything about it is well done and very nostalgic. The film is put together as a homage toward the old silent films of the 1920s. The film is in black and white, there is barely any sound (except for music) and the aspect ratio is the same as it was around the 1920s.
The film focuses on a well known silent actor, George Valentine, who has completed his latest film. After the boom of talkies erupt, Valentine leaves to primarily focus on silent films from his own budget, having no interest in talkies.
A new star, who Valentine helped find accidentally, starts to become popular. The film is a triumph. Jean Dujardin's performance is absolutely mesmerising and Ludovic Bource's music is jazzy and old fashioned.
The film is absolutely fun and a great homage toward old silent films.
