The Artist

A captivating love story, a serious drama about the hardships of the Depression, and an overall good tale, The Artist competes and resides alongside of the film industry’s greats. Overwhelmingly similar to “Singin’ in the Rain”, The Artist never tries to remake or retell the 1950’s musical; rather, it stands hand in hand. Probably the boldest film of the year, if not the decade, The Artist refreshingly introduces a younger audience to the thrills of the silent film. In entering 2012, I can think of no better movie to start the new year.
