Modern and outstanding silent film

Rating: 9/10 (3 March 2013)

Silent film, black and white, French, made in 2011 shows, in an excellent direction, the time of the early silent film, its evolution to the spoken one, this generated culture of admiration for the actors, the wealth and fantasies, the crisis for the person that can not adapt to change, its decline helped by the financial crisis of 29 to lose all the tangible goods, its rejection by pride to accept a new world, a new technology (all past times were better), the hidden support of the fan who wins because she can adapt to the innovative projects in the industry, and the happy ending (characteristic of those early days of this new art). Excellent music, a very descriptive photography, outstanding performance of the two protagonists and the pet, the faithful and intelligent dog (as my dad would have enjoyed), humorous and funny, and a film that rightly deserved the awarded Oscars.
