THE ARTIST
STARRING: Jean Dujardin, Berenice Bejo, John Goodman, Penelope Ann Miller, James Cromwell, Malcolm McDowell and Missi Pyle
DIRECTOR: Michel Hazanavicius
COUNTRY: France / Belgium
GENRE: Romance
SYNOPSIS: A silent film star falls in love just as the talking pictures begin to eclipse his career.
RATING: PG-13
RUNNING TIME: 100 Mins
THE GOOD: Director Michel Hazanavicius is truly thinking out of the box. His film is so clever and original that it will knock your socks off.
Jean Dujardin and Berenice Bejo (the Director’s wife) display the kind of star quality that most celebrities would kill for. John Goodman, James Cromwell and Penelope Ann Miller also shine brightly.
Filmmaking at its best!
THE BAD: Few Hollywood directors have the talent or mindset to achieve this type of artistry.
THE UGLY: Hollywood will continue to produce its uninspired schlock en masse without thinking twice.
MY SCORE: *****
(5 OUT OF 5 STARS)
