10 Great Movies About Hollywood
8. The Artist (2011)
Winning Best Picture and gaining a mass of praise from both critics and audiences, The Artist is the ultimate love letter to the silent age of cinema and the way Hollywood changed during the late 1920s and the early 1930s.
Starring an Oscar-winning Jean Dujardin, The Artist details a tumultuous relationship between silent film star George Valentin and budding actress Pepper Miller (Berenice Bejo). Their romance is strained by the change in cinema taking place during their affair, with George's career fading and Pepper's growing thanks to the introduction of the talkies.
A stylish movie filmed in black and white which happily celebrates the way cinema has changed with time, the film perfectly captures all the things movie-goers love about film - from the clever editing to the joyful performances, from the staggering musical score to the beautiful romance.
Charming and wonderfully self-aware, The Artist is a much watch for any lover of cinema.
