The Artist is a heartfelt and entertaining valentine to classic American cinema. Mixing comedy, romance and melodrama, The Artist is itself an example of the form it celebrates. A Black-and-White silent film that relies on images. Actors and Music to wave its singular spell. Hollywood 1927. George Valentin 9Jean Dujardin) is one of the silver screen’s reigning idols, instantly recognisable with his slim moustache and signature white tie and tails. Young dancer Peppy Miller (Berenice Bejo) is vivacious and good-humoured, with an incandescent smile and a flapper’s ease of movement. Peppy first crosses George’s path at his film premiere and then as an extra on his latest film. When talking pictures become the new age in Hollywood, George wants no part of it. But by 1929 the studio is preparing to cease all silent film production and George faces a choice, embrace sound, like the now rising star Peppy, or risk a slide into obscurity. Written and directed by the award-winning Michel Hazanivicius The Artist has become the most talked about, critically acclaimed and awarded film of the year. Also featuring John Goodman (The Big Lebowski), James Cromwell (Babe), Penelope Ann Miller (Chaplin), Malcolm McDowell (Time After Time), Missi Pyle (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) and Uggie the Dog (Water for Elephants) “The Artist is action, laughs, tears . . . it’s everything we go to the movies for!”
