A tribute to silent movies

Rating: 8/10 (22 January 2012)

I love silent movies, so i was waiting eagerly to watch this movie. The performances are perfect by the whole cast, including the dog (reminds me of Asta, "Thin Man's" dog), the leading duo is a perfect match, the music is excellent, the photography too, but i can't oversee that the film is too predictable, although the movie's end is left open to one's imagination and in some sense the alienation between Valentin and his wife seems not well justified, given the fact that Valentine didn't seem to have an affair. Nevertheless it is a nice movie to be remembered for years to come, a decent tribute to silent movies and definitely one of the best movies of the year.
