Steamboat Bill, Jr.
EUA, 1928
Dir.: Charles F. Reisner
(Este filme está disponível em DVD com outro título: O Herói do Rio)
"Silent-comedy legend Buster Keaton's last independent film – and penultimate one under his exclusive control – before giving himself over to MGM, which proceeded to run his career into the ground. Steamboat Bill, Jr., from 1928, is one of the comedian's richest works. Far more elaborate than the breezy, but minor, College, this movie returned Keaton to the heights of elaborate visual comedy. Its climactic cyclone sequence is quite the most impressive and involved of the comic actor's filmography, even outdistancing the destruction of an entire train in The General. (...) Steamboat Bill, Jr. is, first and foremost, a wildly creative comedy that has as much power to impress and amuse an audience today as it did in '28." Ken Hanke
