"The Critics"

Most budding screenwriters have been subjected to one or more lectures about the evils of using dialogue in screenplays.

"Show, don't tell," they say. Notice, they say, they don't show their advice.

Well, now we have some people taking that advice seriously. Two film critics, no less. Here they can be seen silently discussing the merits of silent movies.

So sit back and silently enjoy the sight of David Denby and Richard Brody critiquing The Artist and the lost art of cinema before sound.
