The Artist

Description

By Michel Hazanavicius. Starring Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Bejo, John Goodman. Screening with presentation. In 1927 in Hollywood, the career of silent film star George Valentin collapses with the arrival of sound, making way for new stars, including young extra Peppy Miller... After the parodic OSS 117 saga, the very cinephile Michel Hazanavicius took on the risky challenge of shooting a silent comedy in Hollywood about the sound revolution, a theme reminiscent of Singin’ in the Rain. An avalanche of awards, including the Oscar for Best Picture, rewarded the filmmaker's audacity, who pays tribute to cinematic language and the art of melodrama with finesse and inventiveness. "More than a journey through time, The Artist is a dive into the history of cinema that transforms it into a gigantic playground" (Isabelle Regnier, Le Monde, 2011). France · 2011 · 100' · silent - format: DC@CAP 1 – Capitole, Salle Freddy Buache ( CAP 1 ) - indicative price: 10.-
