Summary:
Before Edgar Wright and Wes Anderson, before Chuck Jones and Jackie Chan, there was Buster Keaton, one of the founding fathers of visual comedy. 
And nearly 100 years after he first appeared onscreen, we’re still learning from him. 
Today, I’d like to talk about the artistry (and the thinking) behind his gags. Press the CC button to see the names of the films.
