For those you ever laughed at technology taking over and making your job redundant - think again. George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) learned this the hard way... with superb casting Dujardin plays an immensely popular 1927 silent film lead actor. A chance meeting with soon-to-be actress Peppy Miller (Bérénice Bejo) see the tables of stardom turn as the Studios (John Goodman) decide "Talkies" will be the future.

Valentin is unable to find his voice and sees himself of the verge of madness. Riches to rags, Valentin has lost all hope, though Miller has never forgotten anything Valentin has given her (including her stage persona). Equally, Valentin treasured the first film he did with Miller. When everything he owns is lost the only memory he clutches to is this film. But there is one more film development to emerge, and a last hope for Valentin...

Profoundly scripted, an extraordinary sound track, laugh out loud funny, and poignantly emotionally moving - in fact everything about this film is expertly produced with deep insight into the history of cinema.

A courageous project to produce a silent film in the 21st Century, proving story rules over dialogue. Well done!

Now showing nationally at Dendy,  Palace and selected cinemas.
