Dir: Buster Keaton | USA | 1924 | 73 mins

Cast | Buster Keaton, Joe Keaton, Kathryn McGuire, Ward Crane

 

Buster Keaton’s impeccable comedy classic is reimagined with R.E.M. 's alt-rock masterpieces Monster (1994) and New Adventures in Hi-Fi (1996) in the sensational new release from Silents Synced, who pair classic silent movies with epic rock music to bring audiences a unique big screen experience.

In this sublime comedy teetering between reality and illusion, Buster Keaton is a film projectionist who dreams of becoming a detective – and uses his (limited) skills to investigate when he’s framed by a rival for stealing his girlfriend’s father’s pocket watch. Effortlessly funny, with deadpan humor, slapstick and hilarious sight gags, plus innovative technical feats and daring stunts, Sherlock Jr. has been hailed Keaton’s masterpiece.

Sherlock Jr. is preceded by a special presentation of one of Keaton’s classic short films, The Balloonatic (1923), soundtracked by a new composition by renowned Brazilian electronic artist, Amon Tobin.
