I recall when I first heard of
The Artist, it was a friend telling me he wanted to see it. At the time I had never heard of it. He told me about this silent film that he really wanted to see but figured it would never get much of a release. Then I saw the trailer for it. Interesting to say the least. I was definitely intrigued. So, I went back and mentioned to my friend that I knew where he was coming from. The movie sure did look intriguing. The only thing left, at that point, was to wonder if it would play anywhere nearby to actually see it. Fortunately, it has come close enough for me to go see and I am very glad that I did. The movie is a wonderfully executed throwback that knows what it is and pokes fun at it.
