Several film-goers in Liverpool
demanded a refund after seeing award-winning throwback film The Artist because
they were “unaware that The Artist was a silent film.” Patrons of the Odeon
Liverpool One reportedly asked for their money back upon realizing the film
contains no spoken dialog and is presented on a smaller screen. The Artist,
which just landed 12 BAFA nominations after picking up a Golden Globe for Best
Motion Picture (Comedy/Musical), pays homage to the silent-era films of the
20s. A Daily Telegraph source says Odeon Liverpool One ushers are now required
to ask paying customers walking into The Artist if they are aware the film is
silent.
