French film director and screenwriter, born 29 March 1967 in Paris. Best known internationally for directing the 2011 silent film The Artist.

Won the Academy Award for Best Director for The Artist (2012). Frequently collaborated with actor Jean Dujardin.

A conflicted but ultimately appreciative review of The Artist noting its successful use of silence, music and expressive performances. The reviewer felt pre-release hype biased their expectations but admits the film delivers memorable visual moments. Highlights include strong lead performances and music as a structural element. Overall rated 3/5.

For:cinephiles, fans of silent cinema, readers interested in French film and film history

 

An outpouring of phrases like "the magic of cinema," "pure poetry," and, particularly from the fairer sex, expressions of utter enjoyment—as if Rocco Siffredi himself had passed through the cinema.
