About this movie

Hollywood 1927. George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) 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 (Bérénice Bejo ), it seems the sky's the limit major stardom awaits. The Artist tells the story of their interlinked destinies.

Ratings and reviews

When we saw this in the cinema in England, the whole audience burst into applause at the end of the film. This never, ever happens in England.

Smart, clever and evocative of classic early cinema. Great film.

A modern classic.
