Could there be a sweeter confection for curmudgeonly cineastes than THE ARTIST?
Nope. Will some people not see this film because it’s silent or black-and-white? Yeah. Are those people stupid? You bet. Are there some scrooges that’ll hate the film for its blatant sentimentality? Yes. Does the film cheapen itself because it uses part of the score to Hitchcock‘s VERTIGO? Yes, but I remind you that this is cinematic candy and that hookers are often called “Candy”, and for good reason. Is this blog post longer than the title cards used in the film? Yup.
Time to exit stage left.
