It's hard not to have high expectations given its 10 Oscar nominations. And even with the built-in expectations inherent in that, I still came out impressed by the movie. And this goes beyond the fact that it managed to tell a story without words, never mind primary colors (... I am a sucker for technicolor). With just the right notes of music and a sly smile from a Frenchman, I was thoroughly engrossed in every scene. Comical yet realistically emotional, this silent film reminds me of what a compelling story can communicate to an audience, without the need for the excessive add-ons we have become accustomed to these days. Engaging and delightful, this film is for anyone who can use 2 hours to escape from their lives and enjoy some good ol' fashion entertainment.
Verdict: A must see (Buzzworthy)
