A great documentary about a fantastic filmmaker

A great documentary about movie genius Buster Keaton, his career from stardom to lack of freedom and opportunities, his sad and turbulent life, and how Hollywood and its big studios work (MGM particularly). Very moving and informative (I knew a lot of things I had no idea about this fantastic artist and filmmaker), awesome clips of Keaton's hilarious films, quite good text. I film to laugh and perhaps cry. From the same director of another and more recent good documentary about a Hollywood star, "John Wayne, l'Amérique à tout prix".

Disappointing

A mostly lazy and uninformative documentary that runs out the clock by giving small bits of information about Keaton between large swaths of clips from his movies.

This isn't a deep dive into Keaton's life by any means and just about the entirety of the information put forth of this movie can be found in the introductory section of Keaton's Wikipedia page.

Buster

As I've been watching a few Buster Keaton silent movies recently, when the narrator speaks about the downfall of Keaton they show clips from his large array of films that he made which I thought was a good link. (as if it's just occurred) Now a whole new generation appreciate his silent films as much if not more than his contemporaries of the time.

It was unfortunate that he never had the last word whilst making movies at MGM, we'll never know if he had, that the continuation of his career would have been more remarkable.

But we are fortunate today that we get to see his early work as the majority of it is wonderful and worthy of the praise he's received.
