The year was 1927. Just as the talkies were coming along and beginning to evade the era of the silents, Kinograph's George Valentin ruled the title card film screens with that teeth-for-days face. Before the silent film star abruptly fades away with silence, he meets the fledgling, yet talented actress Peppy Miller. I know what you're thinking: we don't need another A Star is Born remake, right? Well, this one changes the game, and the color, and removes the chatter. Apparently, the stars Jean Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo rehearsed their dance scenes in Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynold's studio! But, The Artist does more than just sing in the rain...It danced its way into nostalgic black-and-white hearts from here to eternity.
