Jean Dujardin & Bérénice Bejo are the soul of the movie...

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2012)

The Artist – CATCH IT (A) The Artist relives the charm and cinematic beauty of the silent/mute movies of 1900. You know that the movie is great, when in 40minutes of the movie you barely realize that it's a mute or black & white silent movie. The beauty of the Artist relies purely on their artist's Jean Dujardin & Bérénice Bejo's innocence & Michel Hazanavicius affectionate direction. As far as the story of The Artist is very simple as it's about the ups & down of a superstar. The arrival of talking movies send the mute arrogant super star George Valentine into darkness as he refuses to accept the change in the cinema. The new struggling actress Peppy Miller now becomes the superstar, but she still has strong feeling for George Valentine as she secretly tires save him every point of his downfall. This simple story is told magnificently on the convex like a novel. Oscar winning performance by Jean Dujardin is worth praising. He literally lives the life of George Valentine and never let us realizes that it's been shot in 21st century. Bérénice Bejo is a charmer and she excels in all emotional & comedic scenes. Brilliant. Overall the Artist is something completely refreshing and new for our generations. And I can understand for all the accolades and awards.
