Michel Hazanavicius' impossibly charming film won seven BAFTAs and five Oscars. The story takes us back to 1920s Hollywood, where movie icon George Valentin (Dujardin, LITTLE WHITE LIES) faces a career crisis as the advent of the talkies effectively signals the end of the silent era.
To make matters worse, the girl he helped make into a star (Bejo) is about to become the It girl of her generation. Shot in black and white and virtually without dialogue, THE ARTIST might sound like little more than a cute homage, but its wonderfully imaginative script and heartfelt lead performances are sure to win your heart.
