When you say nothing at all...In the era of silent films, George Valentin is a superstar. When 'talkies' become all the rage, he scoffs at them as a passing fad. He watches other actors gaining stardom while he loses everything. This film is a tribute to silent films and save for the last couple of minutes, has no dialogue at all, only music. Superbly acted and
beautifully shot, this is a great film. And by great I don't just mean 'good'; I mean Great, as in one of the greatest films this year. It is a film that is a close to perfect as a film can be - the story, the acting, the painstaking recreation of the silent film era - and I've got nothing but love for this one.
