The Artist best so far
I almost skipped seeing The Artist thinking it would be too 'arty' or I would tire of the lack of dialogue or black and white format. However, none of my assumptions played out. I'm glad we saw The Artist in the movie theater, as it was meant to be viewed. I think I would have become restless watching a silent, black and white film on disk at home. The male lead, Jean Dujardin, reminds me of Gene Kelly. The lovely black and white cinematography is delux; at times, the blacks look like velvet. Watching the film, I felt transported. I'm glad I gave it a chance because The Artisit is one of the most enjoyable films I've seen in a long time. There are many cameo appearances, tap dancing and a romance that doesn't devolve into a predictable, gratuitous sex scene. Bravo!
