Acclaimed director and film historian Peter Bogdanovich brings us an impassioned tribute to legend of the silent screen, Buster Keaton. From his early vaudeville days to Hollywood superstardom, Bogdanovich follows Keaton’s life, career and his unparalleled talent as one of the greatest physical comedians of our time. Featuring a treasure trove of restored films clips, and interviews with famous admirers—including Dick Van Dyke, Bill Hader, Quentin Tarantino and Mel Brooks—The Great Buster is a delightful portrait of an enduring icon who continues to inspire—and make us laugh—over 50 years after his death.
See The Great Buster back-to-back with a special one-time screening of the Keaton classic, The General (1926) on Thursday, December 27. Buy Tickets.
