Description
The Artistis a love letter and homage to classic black-and-white silent films. The film is enormously likable and is anchored by a charming performance from Jean Dujardin, as silent movie star George Valentin. In late-1920s Hollywood, as Valentin wonders if the arrival of talking pictures will cause him to fade into oblivion, he makes an intense connection with Peppy Miller, a young dancer set for a big break. As one career declines, another flourishes, and by channeling elements ofA Star Is BornandSinging in the Rain,The Artisttells the engaging story with humor, melodrama, romance, and–most importantly–silence. As wonderful as the performances by Dujardin and Brnice Bejo (Miller) are, the real star ofThe Artistis cinematographer Guillaume Schiffman. Visually, the film is stunning. Crisp and beautifully contrasted, each frame is so wonderfully constructed that this sweet and unique little movie is transformed from entertaining fluff to a profound cinematic achievement.
