The Great Buster (2018)
The Great Buster celebra la vita e la carriera di uno dei cineasti più prolifici e influenti di Hollywood, Buster Keaton. Il restauro magistrale delle opere d’archivio fa vivere la magia di Keaton sul grande schermo, mentre le interviste ad amici, familiari, collaboratori e a uno stuolo di artisti profondamente influenzati dalla singolarità della sua visione ritraggono approfonditamente una vita e un personaggio la cui complessità, audacia e grazia furono eguagliate dalla grandezza delle opere da lui realizzate. L’excursus compiuto da Bogdanovich all’interno degli archivi di Keaton rivela un artista visionario che, per il gusto di una risata, mise in gioco tutto in film amati come The General (1926), Steamboat Bill Jr. (1928), Sherlock Jr. (1924) e molti altri.
