Films about the past, from 2011:
Midnight in Paris is about rejecting nostalgia - taking inspiration from the past, but not seeking to relive it. Learn and improve the world you live in.
Hugo was a celebration of one of the great innovators of cinema. Someone who pushed the art form forward. It was set in the past, but it was about progress and originality.
The Artist sympathises with someone who refuses to stay up to date with his own profession, and is aesthetically an attempt to recreate the outdated past to which its protagonist belongs.
