(2011) Written and directed by Michel Hazanavicius. Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Bejo, James Cromwell, and Uggie the dog. (100 min.) PG-13

Dashing George Valentin thinks talkies are a passing phase, and his career sinks in quicksand as ingénue Peppy Miller’s career skyrockets. The Artist is steeped in the lore of silent film, from the art deco L.A. locations to the Brussels Jazz Orchestra score and the clever sound effects. The result is a miracle: Oscar’s Best Picture is a French silent film.“A touching and slightly daffy expression of unbridled movie love”—New York Times.
