An almost silent masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (24 October 2018)

With the technology available today, The Artist perfectly captures the essence of what made silent films great, but also managed to add a layer of nuance with the addition of well -placed audio.
The film excels in every category, with crisp cinematography and a great music score. It managed to evoke emotion from my cold, dead heart. The cast does an excellent job of emoting through their face and body language, making the film that much more entertaining.
However, my favorite aspect of the movie is its audio , which seems contradictory to a silent film. The seldom use of audible dialogue and sound effects is impactful, and made me appreciate audio in modern movies. Even the music works to this; songs with audible lyrics show up in certain momentous occasions.
