Review:
The movie takes the period from 1927 to 1931. George Valentin, popular silent film star. He is gratified to acknowledge the new fad and that’s why he is put aside because the cinema gives an opportunity for a new kind of star. However, the beginner actress Peppy Miller is ready to help. She stars in the new talkie The Beauty Spot. Besides, the public approve of talking motion. George's answer is an attempt of making a silent film by his own. It was The Tears of Love. Unfortunately, he fails. Likely, Peppy, who is in love with him, supports George and makes him confident in himself again.
"The Artist" is a marvelous movie that captures silent film era. It’s necessary to pay attention to hard work director Michel Hazanavicius who made this film very nearly soundless and in black-and-white colors. It is a splendid film because it’s filled with the atmosphere of a dumb cinema.
As for performances, Jean Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo make a great work, as they extend dramatic overstatement. Jean Dujardin is very brilliant in that part. He has this ideal silent era fascination that I can call him highly emotional and sensible actor. Bérénice Bejo also a great master at portraying every possible human feelings and emotions. She's successful and talented actress. So, I may conclude that they both performed quite remarkably and show the atmosphere of that time.The supporting actors make contribution to the film.
Music is an inseparable part of a silent movie and in The Artist it is perfectly depicted. It fully conveys the situation. It doesn’t break the slightest. I should mention the camera-work, that represented as old school and really looks like in the 1930s.

So, I may conclude that The Artist is enchanting, humorous, unexpected and pathetic. It is a great balance between the old and the new, comedy and drama. It is really well-done and everybody can find something interesting while watching it. I highly recommend this movie to anybody who want to dive into the history of the cinema.
