The Great Buster: A Celebration

This movie lives in its black-and-white clips, which provide both a fine introduction to those new to Keaton's work, and plenty to dig into for hard-core fans.

Any doubters are advised to see this movie, then treat themselves to a viewing of "The General." Case closed.

When it comes to pure visual comedy, there is no greater director than Buster Keaton.

Even with endless biographical facts, he remains an enigma. Maybe that's why that third act is the most successful: Bogdanovich highlights the work, rather than the man, and that alone is a master class worth taking.

"The Great Buster" is a solid primer on what made Keaton not just one of the most important - and funniest - comedians in the history of the movies but also one of its most visionary directors.

An amusing and authoritative documentary directed by Peter Bogdanovich that both satisfies the true believer and offers the agnostic a place to begin.

As the very title suggests, we are beholding a celebration of Keaton's work. [Full review in Spanish]

This is simply a delight, and also a perfect introduction to the man himself for anyone looking to learn more about one of cinema's most enduring icons, making you fall in love with ol' stone face all over again.

Would make a welcome addition to any film library on the Old Stone Face for both newcomers and those already familiar with him.

While it doesn't reveal much insight into the man himself, Bogdanovich's love for Keaton shines through beyond its standardised format.
