Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Buster Keaton was arguably the cinema's first modernist, an old-fashioned romantic with a 20th-century mind behind a deadpan visage. His films brim with some of the most breathtaking stunts and ingenious gags ever put on film, all perfectly engineered to look effortless. And, as Kino's magnificent 11-disc boxed set The Art of Buster Keaton conclusively shows, they are among the funniest ever made. Keaton warped gags until they left the plane of reality in such shorts as The Playhouse (1921) and The Frozen North (1922), and takes a logic-defying leap into the very nature of cinema itself in his hilarious Sherlock Jr. (1924). He takes on the mechanical world with Rube Golberg ingenuity in The Navigator (1924) and perfects his match between man and massive machine in Steamboat Bill Jr. (1928), which features the funniest hurricane scene ever put to film, and The General (1927), one of the greatest comedies of all time.
In addition to the previously released 11 features and 19 shorts from the peak of Keaton's career, this set boasts the exclusive Keaton Plus, a collection of rarities and tributes. The greatest find is the long-lost ending to Hard Luck (1921), now restored to complete the film's final inspired gag. Other highlights include newly discovered scenes from Daydreams (1922) and The Love Nest (1923), entertaining excerpts from Keaton's 1951 TV show Life with Buster Keaton (he's still got it!), and his rare dramatic turn in the 1954 television play The Awakening. --Sean Axmaker

I am a huge Charlie Chaplin fan and the only time I saw Buster Keaton was his small part in "Limelight". However, having decided that I enjoy silent comedies, I took the plunge and bought this box set. I have no regrets whatsoever. After viewing the movies in this set, I can definitely say that Keaton was a comedic genius; he was a close second to Chaplin and I say this as a Harold Lloyd fan as well.
As for the reviews that the shorts are superior to the the films, I somewhat disagree; ... Read More

Those of us who bought The Art of Buster Keaton on VHS back in the mid-90s ended up having to buy it all over again when the DVD revolution hit. That's okay, though, because Buster is always worth it. The fun of the boxed set is the extra disk full of rarities and tidbits (the best being John Bengtson's offerings). All of Buster's features and most of his shorts are here, though there are missteps here and there. The music offered on Sherlock Jr. is atrocious, and the lack of commentaries or other ... Read More

I think that this is the best collection of Keaton's Slient Films that I have seen. I was not sure at first if I should or should not buy this product. My husband is a huge fan and the few movies that I had seen of Busters on the AMC channel I had liked. However, this collection far exceeded my expectations. For this review I have decieded to list out all of the titles in the collection which is something that Amazon doesn't do.
1. Our Hospitality
2. Sherlock, Jr.
3. College

Thus utters a confused patron of a vaudeville house who is confronted by Buster Keaton and his minstrels accompanied by a conductor and his orchestra, all clones of Buster Keaton in the classic short "The Playhouse". He really was the whole show during his independent years - writer, director, star. This collection consists of Keaton's surviving work from the years he was an independent film maker from the year 1920 when he struck out on his own after partnering with Roscoe Arbuckle for two years, and before ...

SO glad I spent literally half a paycheck on this collection . Keaton was , quite simply , brilliant . His amazing stunts and incredible agility put so many present-day actors to shame . As for that signature "stone face"....The man could say so much more with his eyes than any spoken words could ever express . Truly unsurpassed talent .
