The Artist (6Ter) The tribute that touched the American actors of the film

In Hollywood in 1927, George Valentin was one of the biggest stars in cinema, and his fame was matched only by his pride. His producer, Al Zimmer, invites him to the screening of his latest film, after which he meets Peppy Miller, a beginner actress. The young woman becomes an extra in a feature film being shot alongside George. The two actors immediately like each other, but George refuses to engage. It was then that talking cinema made its appearance. Convinced that this technology has no future, George goes so far as to part ways with Al to produce a silent film. At the same time, Peppy becomes the new muse of the studio …

Shot in the legendary Warner and Paramount studios, The Artist is a declaration of love for Hollywood cinema, which really touched the American comedians on the team. In the role of cigar producer, John Goodman (The Big Lebowski) excels, while James Cromwell (The Green Line), whose father was an actor there in the days of silent cinema, plays the butler of the hero played by Jean Dujardin. As for the iconic Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange), he insisted on making a friendly appearance.

The Artist, airs Sunday January 3 at 21.55 on 6Ter
