Buster Keaton, Steamboat Bill, Jr

Show & Culture

Steamboat Bill, Jr., released in 1928, is the final masterpiece of Buster Keaton’s golden age, just before his association with the major Hollywood studios. This adventure featuring the silent film genius, set on a steamboat sailing the Mississippi, faces him with unruly machines, the fury of the elements, all while pursuing love. The trio led by pianist and composer Pierre Boespflug reinvents the music for this film filled with madness, grace, and poetry.
