a man may keep away from everybody, but he cannot get away from himself

This is a great Keaton film, although more of a homage to him by Samuel Beckett who is playing with the ideas of subject and object in a world where perhaps we have no control over who is doing the watching. Beckett had been influenced a great deal by the genre of comedy and acting that Keaton personifies. Many of his books and plays feature tramp-like, down-and-out characters and he uses the physical comedy routines of vaudeville and silent films of the early 20th Century in many of his works. He and Keaton both share the idea of man thrown into an uncaring world where they are left alone to survive among its absurdity.

Buster foi aplaudido de pé por 10 minutos por conta de sua performance neste curta (e o curioso é que o público era jovem, provando o quão talentoso era Buster).

BRILLIANT!
Two Icons at work....
Someone with one of THE most famous faces in History, the GREAT Mr. Buster Keaton doing everything to avoid being seen, by people or anything else.
An exercise in surreal (sublime?) madness.

Que filme incrível, trata-se de um curta metragem de drama, aliás o único curta de gênero drama feito por Keaton, e o seu penúltimo curta ante de sua morte.

One of the last Keaton movies before he died, the another one is the movie about railrodding around Canada and the antithesis of this film (Notfilm)

Here's Film again but with a tape of music and poetry (by Keats and Plath) :

as usual it seems to be inspired by James Joyce. Beckett was his secretary when his sight was his worse and wore the black patch. The pictures could be Joyce and Nora, Lucia and his mother.
