Winner of seven BAFTAs, six Golden Globes and five Oscars, The Artist is a heart-warming comedy drama that is as celebrated now as it was on release. An instant classic.
Drama • Critically Acclaimed • Romantic
When upcoming actress Peppy Miller meets George Valentin, the most celebrated silent movie actor in Hollywood, at a movie premiere, she is inspired to audition for and wins a dancing bit-part in his latest film. The year is 1927 and with the silent film era slowly fading away and with the advent of talking pictures, their fortunes and careers spiral in opposite directions.
