Our Hospitality (1923)
A Comedy with a Heart of Gold
"A sublime silent comedy, one of Buster's best, with a genuinely hair-raising finale." – Leonard Maltin
Considered by many to be Keaton's first masterpiece, and the feature that marked his arrival as an auteur, Our Hospitality (1923) broke new ground by seamlessly melding Keaton's iconic slapstick setpieces with a dramatically powerful storyline.
Keaton stars as a man returning to his Appalachian homestead. On the trip, he falls for a young woman. The only problem is her family has vowed to kill every member of his family.
Screens with Convict 13 (1920), a delightfully gag-packed short that manages to keep the laughs coming while tackling capital punishment and police brutality.
