Director Michel Hazanavicius
Ok first things first, the film has no sound get over it!! The Artist is an incrediable homage to the cinema of old and the 1920's. The narrative features two films stars of yesteryear after they work on one picture toghether and then their carears head off in two very different directions as the movie industry moves into making "talkies" rather then the silent films that the film is recreating. The two main actors are superb and look like they have stepped right out the silent period and stright into the film putting in incrediable physical performance. But the main star of the film is Uggie the dog, who as one person in the cinema rightfully said "deserves an oscar for his performance", well maybe not quite an oscar but like many classic animated animal characters steals the show. Interestinly the film is as funny as most of this years comedies despite lack of dialouge and is full of nostagure for the romance of old cinema. A perfect film for any lover of film!!8 out of 10
