Movie Review: "The Artists"

This delightful black and white movie features French actor Jean Dujardin as George Valentin, a silent movie star, who watches his fame and popularity decline with the advent of talking movies. He sparks with a young dancer, Peppy Miller, who is trying to break into movies. As Valentin’s fortunes fade, Peppy Miller’s star rises. The wonderful period musical score is always in synch with the plot. John Goodman plays the studio mogul. Due to the lack of voiced parts, the acting performances of the main characters were superb.
