Aro Recommended Our Hospitality / Sherlock Jr.

 

USA 1923, 75/44 minutes
Dir. Buster Keaton
Rating: [G]
Genres: Classics, Comedy / Silent Cinema

 

Aroview: A pair of classic cinematic comedies from deadpan master Buster Keaton.

'Our Hospitality' - Keaton plays the youngest member of a Southern clan, who has the misfortune to fall in love with a the daughter of a family rival. Climaxes with a justly famous, if hair-raising, waterfall rescue.

'Sherlock Jr.' - As a cinema projectionist, Keaton daydreams his way into the film he is playing, becoming involved in a detective drama. One of the first and best of the many films set on a blurred line between 'reality and fantasy', this is enormously inventive and hilarious still.
