The TVI Take
2011 Best Picture and Best Actor winner (Jean Dujardin). A silent black-and-white film about a silent-film star resisting the transition to talkies.
Cognitively engaging through its formal constraint and visual storytelling. Educational value from its portrait of Hollywood's pivotal technological shift. Charming and technically impressive.
