Review of The Artist (2011) by Eric S — 05 May 2014
(93%).
A wonderful homage to early Hollywood cinema, with a superb spot-on eye for detail featuring scenes that wouldn't be out of place in an actual period silent movie. The set design, the costume, the soundtrack, are all finely integrated into every shot, and the performances are terrific as the talent leaps off the screen without (almost) a single word said. Script wise it's very clever, and very well structured without its complete lack of the spoken word hampering its ambitions, or detracting from its abundant charm. A true, almost perfect slice of cinematic joy.
