<H2>SHERLOCK JR. USA 1924, 49 mins (U) Directed by Buster Keaton </H2>
NB film starts promptly at 8.30pm
A film projectionist dreams of becoming a private detective. His wish comes true when he is framed for a theft. Suddenly, he must apply his scant sleuthing skills to save himself. Meanwhile his girlfriend takes a more practical approach. They don’t make 'em like they used to, or do they? This silent classic gives us very early examples of dream sequences, surrealism and movie-within-a-movie devices, used repeatedly in countless films in the 9 decades since Sherlock Jr was released. But the main reasons for watching Buster Keaton’s masterpiece is it’s terrific, brilliantly funny while showcasing Keaton’s supreme physical comedy skills. Not sure about a silent film? Bet you’ll be surprised at how much you enjoy it. ‘Fascinating and enthralling short feature. Buster Keaton created something altogether special here.’ David Parkinson, Empire
