The Artist (2011) : A review

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 2018)

Reviewing "The Artist (2011)" is a tribute to the filmgoer. It's a film about films. It's a film about silent films.
The story is set in Hollywood, 1927. George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) is a silent movie superstar. The advent of the talkies will sound the death knell for his career and will eventually set his oblivion. For young extra Peppy Miller (Berenice Bejo) it seems he sky's the limit, major movie stardom awaits for her. This film on film tells about their interlinked destinies.
This film won many of the major awards globally. Cannes film festival, Golden globes and Academy awards were given to these film. In france it was nominated to ten 'Cesar Awards'. "The Artist" has received the highest number of awards than any other french film in history.
Why I love "The Artist" is it's simplicity, humour and energy. In 2011 I was in a fresh state of mind. I was not exposed to many films. I watched "Singing in the rain (1952)". But this is different. This has Jean Dujardin and his as George Valentin you will never forget.
It's a film about the beauty of film.
Take your time to enjoy this films.
