THE ARTIST

I have no words for this. Seriously,NO WORDS for this except that its a fabulous breath of vintage air! I am happy to say that this film DELIVERS! The acting is superb, the chemistry between all of the actors is sizzling, the comedy is absolutely hilarious, the storyline grips you and never lets go, the music is superb, and you feel emotionally connected with the characters and story. ‘The Artist’ is sure to go down in history as a must-watch. For those who want to study films, for those who pursue cinema relentlessly, and also for those who just watch movies because they just like to. If you’re wondering why a silent film, the movie not only answers it, but makes you fall in love with the medium.The movie asks the question - how does one make that transition from silent to talkie? And then proceeds to answer using the silent/black and white techniques of those first pictures. It’s clearly a product of a thinking director, where every thing in the scene has a story to tell. Whether it’s the ironical film posters, street signs, or just a little dog barking quietly in the corner. The tandem of director Michael Hazanavicus and actor Jean Dujardin is gonna be a hard team to beat. And Dujardin deserved his Palme D’or for his captivating and wonderful performance. MUST WATCH ♥
