The Artist (2011)
Directed by Michael
Hazanavicius this film stars Jean Dujardin, Berenice Bejo, John
Goodman and James Cromwell. As silent film begins to go out of
fashion in favour of the talkies one star of the screen struggles to
cope with the change.
What this film does a
great job of is evoking the era silent film and has loads of great
little details scattered about. Making a silent film that still
manages to tell it's story well in the modern era really highlights
how much superfluous dialogue there is in modern film making. I also
liked how the film holds back explaining the protagonists fear of
change right until the final moments of the film.
4/5
