simplicity is key!

Rating: 10/10 (17 February 2012)

Thank you Michel Hazanavicius for creating such a beautiful and genius film.. It's always refreshing to go to the cinema and be able to experience a new piece of art, instead of the usual guns and explosions and sex. It's pure talent when an actor or actress can portray a message to the audience with no dialogue, but just with brilliant background music, and of course.. real acting! It's movies like this that prove you don't need any special effects, or CGI, or explosions to capture an audience... simplicity is key to this film and Michel plays with the concept of the silent movie era going onto talking so perfectly. Not to mention, there is an adorable dog with more talent than most Hollywood movie stars nowadays. The cinema was packed with old people, middle aged people, teenagers, and even children! And everyone just came out with a smile on their face. 10/10 for simple brilliance!
