| The Artist |
This is a perfect film.
Every scene in this movie is a film cliche you have seen before.
But you are seeing that cliche in a brand new way, an original perception an artist director envisioned it to be seen by the viewer, long ago when movies were young, and some directors were seeing the film as an art form rather than as a box office entertainment only.
A time when the possibilities of beauty were dazzling.
When the presence of beauty was a promise of happiness.
Stendhal
These original scenes have been copied, the copies copied, and copies of copies increasing and circulating endlessly. We have seen them thousands of times.
An infinity of simulacra
But we have never seen them fresh before.
