a pleasant viewing Oscar alternative tonight....... 8:00 pm (ET) The Artist (2011) 1h 40m | Silent | TV-PG A silent screen swashbuckler faces career problems with the coming of sound. Director Michel Hazanavicius Cast Jean Dujardin, Btrtnice Btjo, John Goodman "....Though Hazanavicius is clearly paying his respects to the Silver Age of Hollywood, The Artist does not duplicate the conventions and styles of silent cinema. The pace of the editing is faster, the cinematography crisper, and the camera movement more modern. And, while lead actors Jean Dujardin and Berenice Bejo echo the expressive, external performing style of silent movies, they avoid the broad arm gestures, widened eyes, and repetitive motions that were typical of the era. The Artist is not a nostalgic exercise in resurrecting a past cinematic era; nor does it promote silent films as superior, because by the end, it embraces the new sound technology as an inevitable evolution. Instead, The Artist pays homage to cinema by referencing its history and by playfully parroting the conventions, actors, tropes, genres, plots, and techniques of silent film. The characters are composites of Silver Age stars........ https://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/823731/the-artist#articles-reviews?articleId=1068747
