Watched The Artist over the weekend. I was prepared not to like it. It's black and white, I was told. Plus it had 'art' in its name. Plus it won Oscars. I did not know it was a silent movie, but that would have just added to my apprehension. It would be an emo-choked-drama-of-a-lone-suffering-artist-against-the-stupid-world, I thought. And I dreaded 'arre usme itna art hai' discussions.
So here's the deal. The movie is delightful! It has art too, but the movie manages to be much effective by being, well, silent about it. Kudos to all the actors for saying so much without words. And the direction is superb. Definitely a must watch.
