Here is the story of Joseph Frank "Buster" Keaton, the director, producer, writer and star?the sad-faced little man who was one of the prime masters of silent film comedy. The book includes hilarious accounts of the filming?usually without script?of some of his now-classic films. Rudi Blesh was not just a biographer, but a close friend of Buster and Eleanor Keaton-and it shows. Keaton is packed with Buster's reminisces. Blesh makes some important definitions about Buster's art as a silent movie comedian; he's thorough on both the film-history level and Keaton's life. Blesh does not hesitate to define the philosophical meaning of Keaton's pictures or to call Keaton a genius and make it stick. Perhaps the most important point he makes is that where Chaplin touches your sentiments, Keaton made you think. Artikel-Nr. 11304
