The Artist...Film Review
Jul. 28th, 2012 10:24 pm[I'm envious of the European coverage of the Olympics - you don't have Ryan Seacrest interviews of US athletes, or the commercials. Has got to make a difference.]
The Artist
Finally watched this on DVD tonight. Better than expected. I did sort of doze off during the middle section and had to rewind, but other than that...
Can definitely see why the guy who played George Valentin won best actor. He is amazing in this film. Doesn't ham it up at all...like they usually do or many of the other actors did.
And you can see everything he is thinking and feeling without the actor saying a word.
From everything that I'd read, frankly? I expected a tragedy like A Star is Born and it did remind me a great deal of that film. ( spoilers for the Artist )
