Anyone Care Who Won ‘American Idol’?
The black-and-white silent film from Michel Hazanavicius received some serious love when it played this year’s Cannes Film Festival — right after The Weinstein Co scooped it up as the fest’s first major sale. Jean Dujardin, Berenice Bejo, John Goodman, James Cromwell, Missi Pyle and Penelope Ann Miller star. So far from this, it looks as good as advertised.

I can’t WAIT for this movie! AHHH Love this.
Looks pretty good indeed.
I saw this in Cannes. It deserves all the hype and love it has received to date and more.
This is really gutsy movie making. It looks great.
Too bad the younger generation will be disappointed it’s not in 3D. (that was a joke, so don’t get all riled up.
)
wow.
that’s all i can say. thanks for informing me of this movie.
Major goosebumps. And this jumped to the top of my “Must See” list.
TOTAL CHILLS. Can’t wait. Also can’t help but wonder if Woody Allen is excited to see it or kicking himself for not making it.
looks really magical; i’m excited!
It looks spot on, like they just unearthed an unseen film from the ’20s.
Not sure how it will play with the mainstream but I’ll definitely be seeing it.
Penelope Ann Miller? Quick! Where’s my copy of The Relic?
I’ve been waiting to see this since I heard about it during Cannes.
It’s about the most charming piece of film I’ve seen in ages. I will be at the first showing on opening day!
Thanks filmmakers for daring to be different.
Strange, it’s almost as if somebody made a movie for adults. Hopefully this is just a teaser trailer and the fighting robots, aliens and talking dogs will be in the next one.
1. This movie looks great!
2. EVERY parent should take their kids to see this in order to teach them something about imagination and paying attention to detail. (Truth be told, I think young people will dig this because it’ll be a new experience.)
3. What’s the over-under on fist-fights breaking out when people start chatting as it plays?
1. It is! It so very is!
2. Agreed. The only audience it won’t work on are the dead! Film students should be made to watch it.
3. People who chat during films should be taken outside and beaten up anyway. Period. The audience I watched it with (packed screening in Cannes) were completely silent (no concession, no rustling of packaging) except for the loud laughter and the tremendous cheers and clapping at the end.
Uh, newsflash. The talkies are here. You can actually speak. Where’s the dialogue? Where’s the color?
I really hope you’re just trolling.
I went to a media screening of this tonight. It is SO GOOD. Seriously haven’t felt this good leaving a movie in a long time.
WOW…..that is some GUTSY looking film. Looks incredible.
Penelope Anne Miller always had the look of a silent movie star—- great casting choice!
well i can GUARANTEE two tickets sold: one for myself and one for who ever i hold at gunpoint to see it with me!
And the fun thing is, when you point the gun at the person you plan on bringing, you won’t have to say a word. It will be your own little silent movie. (though you may hear some sirens later)
This looks incredible That being said, I would note that if you’re setting a movie in the twenties you probably shouldn’t score it with music from the forties, as they do here. With that nitpicking out of the way (and it’s just the trailer, for God’s sake), I can truly say that I can’t wait to see it.
Why not just watch an original silent film?
This looks like it will be worth the ticket price, maybe if it hits big time people will take a renewed interest in old silent films, the acting was amazing in many of them, leaving aside the silent comedies that is.
Ha! a premake of ‘A Star is Born’
