The five-time Oscar winning silent film, The Artist, is a
modern classic that belongs in the DVD collection of any self-respecting film
lover.
Set in Hollywood as the silent movie era is coming to an end
and the ‘talkies’ begin to take over, world-famous silent film star, George
Valentin (Best actor Oscar winner Jean Dujardin) finds himself shunned from the
business as his on-screen partner, newcomer Peppy Miller (Bérénice Bejo) sees her
star rise when she embraces the new-fangled style.
Beautifully shot in black and white, with an original
soundtrack that is almost a character in itself, The Artist re-sets the bar for
modern film-making.
