Worth it for the storm sequence alone, which is staggering in its audacity, and Shakespearean in its execution.

Quase oitenta anos já se passaram, mas a agilidade e a coragem de Keaton continuam a impressionar neste filme que ainda surpreende, encanta e diverte.

One of the greatest of the silent comedies about the effects of parental rejection.

Boasts the most astonishing and indelible images in Keaton's body of work, and some of the best moments in movie history… wildly inventive, increasingly audacious stunts.

A wildly creative comedy that has as much power to impress and amuse an audience today as it did in '28.

Contains what is perhaps Buster Keaton's most fully realized act of comedic anarchy.
