The first and last few minutes are great
But the film itself is far from a must-see.
A captivating experiment
Making a black-and-white silent film in 2011 is almost suicidal... But in The Artist director Michel Hazanavicius managed to do it - and do it in a great way. The film celebrates the magic of silent cinema, and aided by great performances it...
