Hollywood 1927. George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) is a silent movie superstar. The advent of the talkies will sound the death knell for his career and see him fall into oblivion. For young extra Peppy Miller (Berenice Bejo), it seems the sky's the limit - major movie stardom awaits. THE ARTIST tells the story of their interlinked destinies.
 
Starring Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Bejo, John Goodman, Malcolm McDowell, James Cromwell, Penelope Ann Miller.

The Vicky David Gallery is proud to present an exhibition of the Belgian artist Arne Quinze.

The gallery will present pieces from the series "My Home, My House, My Stilthouse" which plays on the dichotomy between chaos and equilibrium. From the appearant fragility of his material emerges overflowing energy and pure beauty.  Arne Quinze dreams of an ideal society in which all individuals communicate and interact with each other. Eclectically he uses paintings, drawings, sculptures and monumental installations to develop his work in the urban movement, by focusing on the themes: Order, Disorder, Structure and Habitation.

Beginning in the early 2000’s, Arne Quinze’s œuvre is the subject of many public and private installations around the world such as ("Uchronia", Nevada, USA; "Timegate", Miami, USA; "Rebirth", Paris, FRANCE; "Red Beacon", Shanghai, CHINA; "Camille", Rouen, FRANCE; "The Sequence", Brussels, BELGIUM; "The Traveller", Munich, GERMANY ; "The Visitor", Beirut, LEBANON).

Jean Renoir, 1936. B&W. 80 min.
With René Lefèvre, Florelle, Jules Berry, Marcel Lévesque
In French with English subtitles

After a rogue publisher leaves town with his company’s profits, a writer bands together with his similarly swindled coworkers to seek revenge—first by starting a new publishing house and then by more devious means. A delightful film with an inspired, Capra-esque mix of whimsy and justice.

Trip to France: $2,000. Hotel with a view of the Eiffel tower: $600 a night. Bottle of champagne: $100.  Night in Paris in the city of New York being mesmerized and serenaded by none other than Floanne, Timeout NY’s «French Madonna»: priceless.  Treat yourself to a night in Paris without even leaving home.  Floanne envelopes you with style and originality that eases you into a relaxed mood and leaves at the end of the night full of romance and forgetting where you are and where you came from... like in a Woody Allen movie.

In her new show «Love is French», Floanne explores, rather academically... love.  This jazz cabaret concert with a comedic flavor, a lot of personality and romantic overtones will leave you with much to explore and talk about, even if you disagree.

Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to come together and smile, blush, enjoy the most romantic love songs... alone, in couple, or on a blind date.  In a jazz cabaret show of French chanson with a modern twist, Floan
