This has been on itunes for a bit, but buzz is just so big on this movie I had to post it now!
The Artist is a silent b&w movie, recreating the style of the ‘20s with a story indeed set then too, about a big star and his lover. Praise has been pretty unanimous since Cannes, with Best Actor that festival going to headliner Jean Dujardin – basically the equivalent of Clooney, Pitt and Damon rolled into one in France, in terms of star quality.
Check out the trailer below – nice use of music from The Life of David Gale – and look out for the movie over the coming months. Rumour has it it could be in line for a Best Picture nomination…….
