Brussels wins again! Not only did it produce the incredible Family, Sillem, with the beautiful Aisjah, her amazing brothers, and discerning designer Audrey, but now, there is the film from Belgium and Studio 37 - "The Artist".
Just having been privileged to share a preview screening with a good friend, I now know what Belgian chocolates should be nervous. Move over, des chocolats, because Film is out for your fame! "The Artist" Trailer on YouTube.
The Artist is one of the most thoughtfully made films of it's kind that I have seen for a long time.
The original score, the unique interpretation of the music, the caricatures of the characters of this genre, and the interplay with frissons of films-gone-by, such as "Singing In The Rain", and earlier movies on themes of fallen stars of cinema. The synchronization of sights and sounds in this picture results in "Seamless Cinema" for the unsuspecting viewer.
"The Artist", a creation of Michel Hazanavicius (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0371890/), is a modern classic, in my view. And after connecting with AMI's Audiovision (John Harris) as well as last year's described live theatre at the Playhouse Theatre in Vancouver, I am convinced that "The Artist" is an ideal film for those learning the English language, as well as for Audiovision's inventory.
It opens tomorrow at the Scotiabank Theatre, and, I'm told by the Alliance rep after the preview, at the Fifth Avenue Cinema.
This type of bonbon carries with it no calories, and brings a delectable movie-going experience to the silver screen. Enjoy!
