THE ARTIST (PG)

(France 2011) dir. Michel Hazanavicius. 100m. Digital.
Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Bejo, John Goodman, James Cromwell, Malcolm McDowell.

Let's cheer the glorious return of... silent movies! Eighty years after films became all-talking THE ARTIST recreates the brilliance and perfection of a lost art. Hollywood 1927 and the lives and loves of two people are about to be changed dramatically by the arrival of talking pictures. George Valentin is a movie megastar who dismisses the new technology as a fad. Perky Peppy Miller is a dancer destined to be the face and voice of a filmmaking revolution. Their lives cross with all the drama, romance, excitement, adventure, singing and dancing that only the movies can provide. Jean Dujardin's brilliant portrayal of George won him the Best Actor prize at Cannes 2011 while the Festival's more unofficial Palm Dog trophy for best canine performance went to Uggy, a scene-stealer in the best Hollywood tradition. It all adds up to an endlessly inventive and irresistible piece of pure cinema.

Description

A great local cinema in Dalston. The Rio shows mainstream films and is also responsive to the interests of sections of the community often ignored by mainstream commercial cinema. Examples of this are the annual Turkish and Kurdish film festivals, the Saturday morning Children’s Picture Club, midweek Classic Matinées, the recently introduced Parent and Baby matinées and participation in Spanish and Gay and Lesbian film festivals. While all the other cinemas in Hackney have disappeared or become snooker halls and car auction rooms, the Rio continues to adapt and flourish.
