THE ARTIST One of the most joyous and clever cinematic experiences in years, director Michel Hazanavicius’ THE ARTIST is a favorite for this year's Academy Awards with 10 nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. A silent film shot entirely in black and white, it follows dashing 1920s silent movie star George Valentin, played by Jean Dujardin in an exquisite Oscar-nominated performance. With the arrival of talkies, George’s career starts to fade, while beautiful young actress Peppy Miller’s (Berenic Bejo) star begins to rise. John Goodman, James Cromwell and Penelope Ann Miller deliver strong supporting roles in this wonderfully romantic and inventive film.
