Film Review: The Artist
THE ARTIST (Michel Hazanavicius, 2011)
The Artist is a good film. Its synopsis, which I read
before I watched the film, reminded me of the 1952 film Singin’ In The Rain.
Both were sere set in that period in the history of cinema when silent film
productions were threatened by the advent of ‘sound’ cinema.
I saw this film a
day before the 84th Academy Awards presentation.

The story is so
simple that if the film didn’t use the silent-film format, I’m not sure if
people would really get interested to watch the film. But anyway, the totality
of a film depends on many aspects and, I think, The Artist has all these. Does
it deserve the Best Picture award? Well, maybe. It’s easy to love the movie
(specially the dog).
Rating: 4.0/4.0
