Hollywood 1927. George Valentin is a silent movie superstar. The advent of the talkies will sound the death knell for his career and see him fall into oblivion. For young extra Peppy Miller, it seems the sky’s the limit – major movie stardom awaits. THE ARTIST tells the story of their interlinked destinies.

“A movie set in Hollywood’s silent era that is virtually wordless: a gimmick? No: sustained cinematic inspiration. A treat in store for anyone open to sheer joy. Here’s a film so seductive it could leave you…speechless.” (TIME Magazine, “Best Movie of the Year”)

“Here is one of the most entertaining films in many a moon, a film that charms because of its story, its performances and because of the sly way it plays with being silent and black and white.” (Roger Ebert)
