A fascinating alternative to the manic stunt work and elaborate sight gags that distinguish the films of Buster Keaton. "Go West" (1925, 69 min.) offers a rare and satisfying glimpse of his talent for...( read more

MCT:March 9, 2008GO WEST (1925)
directed by Buster Keaton
starring Buster Keaton, Howard Truesdale, Kathleen MyersAmong all Buster Keaton's films Go West is no landmark but its pretty fun, like all of the titles in his filmography. Its the story of a «friendless» - thats how he is credited - who jumps on a train randomly and finds himself, guess where, in the West. We dont really know why he left but it doesnt matter, he gets hired as a cowboy on a ranch. He befriends, nope not the ranch owner's daughter, but a cow. Thats pretty much it.The film is an excuse to show Keaton's inability to do anything on a farm. When he has to milk a cow he actually leave the bucket under the animal and waits till the milk comes out.
There are lots of laugh in the film as usual but its not one of Buster Keaton's best film. Although the last part is quite amazing when over a hundred cows are left free in the street of the city. Keaton dresses as the devil - the only red piece of cloth he found to catch their attention - a runs in the street like crazy. Just that last part makes the entire film worth seeing.

MCT:September 15, 2007Another ok and entertaining Buster Keaton film. It may start a little slow, but the gags are still funny and the chaoitic atmosphere that Keaton usually creates near the climax of the film is also in this one. :)
85/100 -

Another thoroughly charming Keaton outing with a wonderfully quirky and absurd finale. Not the best of his I've seen, but still head & shoulders over a lot of what's out there.
