In Buster Keaton’s greatest early feature, OUR HOSPITALITY, a young man falls for a young woman while travelling to his ancestral home in Kentucky. Unbeknownst to him, her family has vowed to kill every member of his family. Buster’s ingenuity, acrobatics, and romanticism all flourish, culminating in what is still for our money the most amazing stunt in cinema history
And also! The show will be preceded by a screening of Keaton’s short ONE WEEK, twenty minutes of surpassing genius in which Buster and his new bride receive a build-it-yourself house as a wedding gift. But their week-long construction project goes from tough to absurdly impossible when a rejected suitor re-numbers all the packing crates.
It’s no wonder that he was among the Surrealists’ favorite moviemakers. Operating in a quintessentially modern medium, the unassuming Keaton gives us the most concise statements of the absurdity that modernity itself brings about.
