RIP Society of the Day: 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.
