A very unique film.

Rating: 7/10 (12 March 2012)

The Artist is a story about silent movie star George Valentin(Jean Dujardin). When the era of silent movies end, Valentin is worried whether he'll lose his popularity in the new era of movies. Whereas Peppy Miller(Berenice Bejo), an aspiring dancer is on the verge of a big break. I really loved the idea of making a silent movie after all these years. The story of the movie was really emotional & touching. You really feel sad for George Valentin when people lose interest in his silent movies. However, the movie was a bit dragging in the middle. Jean Dujardin has done a spectacular job in his portrayal of George Valentin. Berenice Bejo is impressive as Peppy Miller. The supporting actors have done a good job as well. So, I would like to conclude by saying, The Artist is worth a watch. Is it Oscar worthy? Not really.
