Storyline -
In 1927, silent film star George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) is attending the premiere of his latest film, A Russian Affair. Outside the theater, Valentin is posing for pictures for the press when a young woman, Peppy Miller (Bérénice Bejo), admiring Valentin from a packed crowd of adoring fans, drops her autograph album. She bends down to retrieve it and is accidentally pushed into Valentin, who reacts graciously and makes a show of it for the press photographers. The next day, Peppy finds herself on the front page of Variety with the headline "Who's That Girl?" Later, Peppy auditions as a dancer and is spotted by Valentin, who insists that she have a part in Kinograph Studios' next production, despite objections from the studio boss, Al Zimmer (John Goodman). She has a part in a dance scene of A German Affair. With a little guidance from Valentin (he draws a beauty spot on her, which will eventually be her trademark, after finding her in his dressing room), Peppy slowly rises through the industry, earning more prominent starring roles.
Two years later, Zimmer announces the end of production of silent films at Kinograph Studios, but Valentin is dismissive, insisting that sound is just a fad. He decides to produce and direct his own silent film, financing it himself. The film opens on the same day as Peppy's new sound film, which also happens to coincide with the 1929 stock-market crash. Now Valentin's only chance of avoiding bankruptcy is for his film to be a hit. Unfortunately audiences flock to Peppy's film instead and Valentin is ruined. His wife, Doris (Penelope Ann Miller), kicks him out, and he moves into an apartment with his valet, Clifton (James Cromwell). Peppy goes on to become a major Hollywood star.Later the bankrupt Valentin is forced to auction off all of his personal effects, and fires Clifton, telling him to get another job, and Clifton is most reluctant to leave Valentin despite the fact that the actor has not paid him for a year. Desperate and drunk, Valentin sets a match to his private collection of his earlier films, and is trapped in his house as the fire spreads, clutching one of the films. His dog (Uggie) attracts the help of a nearby policeman, and after being rescued Valentin is hospitalized for injuries suffered in the fire. Peppy visits the hospital and asks for him to be moved to her house to recuperate. She finds the film he rescued is the one she was first in. He awakens in a bed there, to find that Clifton is now working for Peppy.
Peppy insists to Zimmer that Valentin co-star in her next film, threatening to quit Kinograph Studios if Zimmer does not agree to her terms. After Valentin learns that Peppy had purchased all his auctioned effects, he returns to his burnt-out apartment. Peppy arrives, panicked, and finds that Valentin is about to attempt suicide. The two reconcile, and remembering Valentin's superb dancing ability, Peppy persuades Zimmer to let them make a musical together.Sound finally comes in as the film starts rolling for a dance scene with Peppy Miller and George Valentin. Once the choreography is complete, Zimmer calls out audibly "Cut! Perfect. Beautiful. Could you give me one more?" Valentin, in his only audible line, replies "With pleasure", in a strong French accent.
