Cast: Jean Dujardin, Berenice Bejo
Thought I would review this film for the silent aspect.
THE PLOT: George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) is a silent film actor. When 1929 rolls around, Valentin loses his chops to an up-and-coming young actress, Peppy Miller (Berenice Bejo). Valentin hovers on the verge of suicide, but then Peppy saves him. Ta-da. Leave me alone, it's 12:30 AM.
THE REVIEW: I applaud Michel Hazanavicius for bringing back the silent era because none of the Americans had the balls to do it. This will probably be the only silent film to win an Academy Award in 82 years. Sad, but you must remember that the Academy Awards did not exist in the silent era. 5 out of 5 stars. Well done. I loved it.
