The Artist quickly transcends its silent movie gimmick to become a heartbreaking and heart-warming marvel of a film.
Contrary to an assertion prominent in its mammoth publicity machine, The Artist is not a silent film.
From Cinelinx:
Judson & Collin are here to contradict everything they said about the Oscars last week as they examine the legacy of The Artist and discuss Charlie Chaplin's City Lights and how it gave the silent film industry a small boom before the talkies took complete control of Hollywood. They also briefly discuss HBO's Girls and give a shoutout to the gentlemen of the Atlantic Screen Connection.
