I loved the OSS 117 movies, so I am interested in this as well.

Yeah, saw this in the theater last month. Pretty damn amazing. I had no idea it was going to be an actual silent movie though.

I saw this during the film festival in November for the red carpet closing night, so cool! James Cromwell was there too  :D

I love the dog so much.

Saw it tonight, such a fantastic film! Very cleverly done, funny, moving, upsetting and heart warming.

Just saw this at the Princeton Garden Theatre. I enjoyed it although I have some reservations about it getting to much praise at the academy awards but it was very well made with some great acting. Oh and the dog is the shit.

There were a couple anachronistic errors (not to say they were errors for their respective time periods, just that they appeared a little too early for a film set during the rise of the talkies), but it was an absolute masterpiece. I too loved the dog, and the acting was brilliant, and they really got the silent film feel exactly right.

Ah, well see that's probably why I can get away with calling it a masterpiece. :P The next movie I have lined up to see is in late February I think.

Well if it's a masterpiece to you then great. I just don't see it that way. To me there are few movies that are masterpieces.

And part of it might be that this and Midnight in Paris constitute two of only a handful of art films I've ever seen in my life...

Midnight in Paris, while being an independent movie that played in a sort-of art house by me, I wouldn't call it an art film. It was far too lucid to be an art film, in my opinion. I could be wrong. You want a real art film...go see The The Tree of Life. :lol That takes a real film dude to sit through.

Oh I believe you. It's probably too meta for me.
