'The Artist' ***1/2stars


What's old is new and most welcome. In glorious black and white this silent, yes silent, film is pure joy. Going back in time to the earliest days of film is a pleasant surprise. My only fear is that there will be second rate copycat films if this is a hit. 


'The Artist' has Oscar buzz written all over it. Lead actor Jean Durjardin will get an Oscar nomination and so far I believe he deserves the win. But there is Leo in 'J. Edgar? And George Clooney. A good year for this category.

For the passionate moviegoer this is a must. Everyone else buy some popcorn and enjoy this slice of film past.
