The Artist

Admission Price: 0.25
All of the films selected for our 90th birthday celebration are, in one way or another, love letters to the art of cinema. But none of them is as straightforward in its adoration as The Artist, the 2011 Best Picture winner, in the style of silent film. Perhaps that’s because it’s easier to look back in love the more distance you have on the subject. The Artist sets its story at a time of great change in the movie business: George Valentin (Jean Dujardin), a silent film idol, finds himself falling in love with a young starlet (Bérénice Bejo) who happens to be the new, fresh face of a burgeoning movie technology — “talkies.” George’s career is being choked out by the rise of sound, but his love for Poppy might save him, if he’ll let it. The timeline coincides with a time of great change in society in general as well: Sound films come on in the late 1920s, right as the Great Depression is beginning. But The Artist seeks to affirm a lesson everyone learns, if they’re lucky enough to last as long as cinema has: you have to be open to change and you have to adapt to what’s new, or the world will pass you by.
There are no events happening in the near future.
