I went to see 'The Artist' tonight, as everyone else says it was thoroughly enjoyable. I wont re-hash what has already been said about it's qualities; but I would like to add the following things.
First the lighting and cinematography (and set/prop design to a lesser degree, for me at least) were excellent. They really helped place the piece in time, some of the shots and camera angles used were so timeless, they made it for me.
Secondly the amount of cameo's, some great character actors popped up; Beth Grant, Ed Lauter, Joel Murray & Malcolm McDowell to name a few. I was always pleasantly surprised to see a face I knew.
Also was anyone else struck by how much Bérénice Bejo looks like another actress? I can't quite put my finger on who, but I know its someone i recognise. At times I thought it was Olivia Wilde, but then she'd turn her face and it'd be some one new.
Lastly Jean Dujardin needs to met up Jon Hamm for an epic 'Worlds most dashing man' contest and then they need to get up to some old fashioned handsome men antics! *
