The Artist

It is the late 1920's silent films are at their peak and silent film star George Valentin is the most successful silent film actor in Hollywood. But with the introduction of talking films, George wonders where he will fit in with this advancing industry.
The Artist is a black and white silent film, and perhaps is one of the funniest films of the year. It is a charming film about trying to find a new dream while fighting inner turmoils of pride and denial.
There is so much to love about this film; the acting, the cinematography, the music, the homage to the beginnings of Hollywood.
Audiences may be turned away at the thought of a black and white silent film, but The Artist is the best film of the past year. It will hopefully take the top award at the Academy Awards, being forever shelved as a masterpiece.
