Like Martin Scorsese's beautiful Hugo, French director Michel Hazanavicius' The Artist is a passionate ode to the golden age of cinema.
Telling the story, through picture only, of an aging silent film star who finds himself obsolete with the introduction of talkie films, it explores the themes of the inability to adapt and too much pride.
It strips back all the bells and whistles leaving us with a wonderful story, instantly likable characters, lavish photography and charming music courtesy of Ludovic Bource.
...and isn't that what good film-making is all about?
