The Great Buster

The Great Buster, directed by Peter Bogdanovich, celebrates the life and legacy of filmmaker Buster Keaton. Born in the late 1800s with a mind overflowing with talents for filmmaking, stunt-work, and silent comedy, Keaton's gifts fit perfectly with the early 20th century transition from vaudeville to silent films. In this documentary, Bogdanovich and his neck scarf interview some of Keaton's biggest fans and followers. To name a few: Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Werner Herzog, Quentin Tarantino, Dick Van Dyke, and Nick Kroll. Get to know this brilliant, troubled innovator with a screening of The Great Buster at Regent Square Theater.
