[A] wholly resonant love letter to the early history of cinema, this French production shot on old Hollywood studio lots is itself a (nearly) silent film, one that comes off as both respectfully authentic and playfully modern...

Rating: 4/4 -- You will leave with many thoughts, but this foremost among them: A film like The Artist is why movies are made. Full Review

3.5 stars out of 4 -- THE ARTIST is a total pleasure....It's A STAR IS BORN blended with SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, and yet somehow bracingly fresh.

5 stars out of 5 -- THE ARTIST is an audience-pleasing comedy melodrama, as sure-footed throughout as Dujardin and Bejo in their dances together.

That spirit of generosity may be the most admirable quality of "The Artist," emphasis on spirit. Full Review

Rating: A- -- From its pitch-perfect performances by actors Jean Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo to the snappy and sentimental score by Ludovic Bource, when all is said and done The Artist will be as admired as Charlie Chaplin's City Lights and F.W. Murnau's Sunrise. Full Review

Product Description:

Michel Hazanavicius' stylistically daring, dialogue-free comedy-drama THE ARTIST stars Jean Dujardin as George Valentin, a matinee idol in Hollywood before the dawn of talkies. His marriage is far from perfect, and one day he meets ambitious chorus girl Peppy Miller (Bérénice Bejo) and is smitten. Very quickly thereafter, sound comes to movies, and George sinks all his money into one last epic silent film, while Peppy becomes a star in the new era. John Goodman co-stars as the head of the film studio working with Valentin. THE ARTIST played at both the 2011 Cannes Film Festival and the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.
