As the era of silent film draws to a close, two actors find their careers and their relationship influenced by the coming of Talkies. While popular, mega movie star George Valentin resists the transition to sound, young Peppy Miller embodies the modern age that is leaving Valentin behind. Winner of five Oscars and the prize for Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival, The Artist is a heartfelt tribute to classical Hollywood cinema. No dialogue.
