Tuesday The Artist Director : Michael Hazanovicius Running Time: 100mins Country/Year:
|
This film needs little introduction after winning numerous awards including the Oscar and BAFTA for Best Film, Best Actor and Best Director. The Artist is an evocative love story of wit and pathos, beautifully acted by its two leads, Jean Dujardin and Berenice Bejo. It tells the story of charismatic movie star George Valentine, a silent screen idol unhappily confronting the new world of talking pictures. His path crosses with Peppy Miller a young and lively dancer who’s future will be what she makes of it . Mixing comedy, romance and melodrama the film is itself an example of the form it celebrates: a black and white silent film that relies on images, actors and music to weave its singular spell.
