Review of The Artist (2011) by Chris M — 21 Apr 2014
A silent film star (Jean Dujardin) sees his career take a downfall thanks to the rise of talking pictures. Despite this obstacle, he shares a special friendship with a new actress (Berenice Bejo) whose career is determined to make her into the next big movie star in this charming tribute to the glory days of silent cinema in the form of a modern silent film.
Dujardin and Bejo look so much like silent film stars with their bright, big smiles that they add to the effect of their performances which will forever change and mature silent movie acting. With its remarkable black and white cinematography and authenticity to the films made during that time, The Artist is a rare film made today that takes away our awareness of watching a present day film and completely transports us to a magical place in the past.
