The Artist

Award-winning comedy drama. When upcoming actress Peppy Miller meets George Valentin, the most celebrated silent movie actor in Hollywood, and gets a part in his latest film, she can't believe her luck. The year is 1927 and with the advent of the talkies, their careers spiral in opposite directions.
