Product Description
CD Description
Set in Hollywood 1927, George Valentin is a silent movie superstar. The advent of the talkies will sound the death knell for his career and see him fall into oblivion but for young extra Peppy Miller, it seems the sky's the limit and major movie stardom awaits.
The Artist is a mute film, directed by Michel Hazanavicius; a new film using the language and some techniques from the old times; a very original, brilliant and seducing homage to the early years of the cinema. The brilliant and catchy original music is composed by Ludovic Bource in the spirit of Chaplin, Max Steiner, Franz Waxman, up to Bernard Hermann… and also referring to the big romantic symphonic repertoire from the 19th Century. Music speaks and replaces words. It takes part of the story and thus acquires a real importance.
Ludovic Bource has worked with Michel Hazanavicius in his past three features Mes amis, OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies and OSS 117 – Lost in Rio.

A simple must-buy for those who watched The Artist at the cinema, and for those who like the silent movie genre - some wonderful music written by a man who has certainly earned the BAFTA and the Academy-Award-Nomination (as of 20th Feb 2012). It's just so emotive and great to play whatever the mood or time of day. I would thoroughly recommend this product!

The French black-and-while silent film The Artist, a tribute to Hollywood pioneers, won the Oscar for best picture at the Academy Awards. A superb soundtrack full of emotion and humour which is totally uplifting. An original score full of nostalgia for the golden days of the Hollywood silver screen.

I assume you would only buy this if you've seen the film? A LOT of music on this one CD. Great for car journeys. It was an instant hit with my three young children (it reminded them of Tom and Jerry) and it makes me want to see the film again (which I will).

Oscar winning score
This score won the 2012 Oscar - and deservedly so. It perfectly captures the charm of the film and brings scenes vividly back to life.
