Saw the movie 'The Artist,' the French made silent film that's taken the movie world by storm. George Valentin, the suave and confident star of silent movies during the 1920s, starts this movie hamming it up during encores for the opening night of his latest film. During ensuing moments of adulation as he leaves the theatre and confronts the media, Valentin encounters a fan, Peppy Miller, played by Berenice Bejo. From that time, Peppy's ascendancy to stardom equally matches Valentin's decline, in an era during which the 'talkies' take the place of silent films. 'In with the new and out with the old' becomes the day's new theme. Pride interferes with Valentin's ability to see the kindness of many people around him, including Peppy who tries to rescue his career. You will be electrified by Berenice Bejo, who could be the most alluring person you have ever seen on the big screen. Don't be afraid to see this silent film. It will continue to win many awards and they will all be deserved. 10/10.
