O Artista

A história

Hollywood, 1927. George Valentin é a grande estrela da noite de estreia de "A Russian Affair", o seu mais recente filme. Nesse evento, conhece Peppy Miller, uma jovem bailarina e actriz em início de carreira. Com apoio de Valentin, que depressa se torna seu mentor e amigo, ela vai sendo acarinhada no meio, conquistando mais protagonismo. Dois anos depois, com o aparecimento do som, inicia-se o fim do cinema mudo e, por consequência, da carreira de Valentin. Acreditando que o som será uma moda passageira, mas sem ninguém que produza um filme seu, decide investir toda a sua fortuna na produção de uma nova película, que acaba por fracassar, arruinando-o. Até que, desesperado e quase a atentar contra a própria vida, reencontra Peppy Miller, hoje transformada em grande diva do ecrã, que tem ainda presente algo fundamental: a gratidão para com alguém que esteve ao seu lado quando o sucesso pouco mais era do que uma simples miragem.
