Buster Keaton Sherlock Jr. (1924)

[@fxdmuller]

Thank you! This performance was recorded in the concert hall of the Academy of Music in Lübeck (northern Germany).

[@LawtonDigital]

The live audience was a great idea! And Keaton was a genius.

[@rbbonotto]

Marvelous! Love the music, the players, the audience.

[@franklubbock8400]

I love hearing the audience reaction, I don't know where or when it was recorded but it really adds something to the film, I feel like I'm watching it in 1924!

[@pranavkamble3605]

Off all the Buster keaton movies i have seen so far this one really felt more entertaining, just because it had audience reacting to gags in between.

[@beeleo]

Frank... you don't know where it was recorded??? The description says, "recording of a live performance on May 20th 2010, University of Music, Lübeck." So... ahh... 2010 and in Lübeck, Germany. It's nice that almost 100 years after this movie was made and halfway around the would, a great comedy still gets laughs and in all the right places.

[@pizzatheface]

This was fantastic! For some reason, it made me a little choked up, thinking of the folks involved in this who have passed on creating such artwork! Thanks for contributing your talents to this and sharing!

[@jaemochiboi]

The ending was so hilarious! Genius. :D

[@rickhwg]

Beautiful... the film and the music! Thank you!

[@h.t.ellismarschand4391]

Best score for this film, hands down. It gave me the chills.

[@eldergideon2811]

Superb live recording of this gorgeous film. The music and musicians reached back into 1924 and today without ever imposing themselves on the story. Marvelous.

[@BrianCarey]

That was fabulous, thank you for sharing!

[@angelsanabria4021]

¡Uuufff... qué bárbaro! ¡Maravilloso película...! ¡Keaton era un genio! Creo que es la mejor comedia que he visto en mi vida. Gracias por compartir.

[@BSFA]

I'm so glad I stumpled upon your lovely version. It made my day.

[@J.L.Media.]

I've just used the word tremendous for the first time in my life. Needless to say I enjoyed this one very much. 9/10

[@fxdmuller]

+Kasey Escape Thank you!!

[@faselblaDer3te]

I love it. I love it I love it I love it.

[@VisualizeYourMusic]

i'm only disappointed that i didn't live in this time period to watch this masterpiece live.

[@zVOLT220z]

Don't ask yourself why you're not cool, just look at your own comment, enjoy your generation kid

[@narrash_a]

Being women I think we are much better in our generation,,, We can still see it someday in cinema with live soundtracking anyway haha

[@nuscholar1979]

I bet this movie partly inspired Woody Allen when he wrote Purple Rose of Cairo. Thank you for posting this delightful gem of a movie.

[@magazinekitchen]

+Corey Sadler I'd say definitely, and more than partly inspired Allen.

[@ray_zhung]

Just wow. He might be the greatest filmmaker ever.

[@alonzosullivan2446]

A group of friends and I watched this film the other night and we really enjoyed your score. Much better than the DVD or Netflix option.

[@ryanegger4425]

Great upload thanks very much!

[@Chavannoise]

Truly a magnificent movie!

[@hongkongjin6828]

brilliant classic and extremely talented act!

[@fullcircle2308]

Talk about commitment... Buster Keaton actually performed the stunt where Gillette falls off the motorcycle himself because he claims, "I would never have someone do a stunt that I wouldn't do myself"

[@DrStoCazzo]

eben the part where he falls in the car from the roof was made by him :)

[@fxdmuller]

The soundtrack is a recording of a live performance, therefore the music and reactions of the audience were recorded in one track.

[@parker9977]

Maybe is the greatest film ever made!

[@fxdmuller]

Thank you! I´m glad you like it!

[@EthalaRide]

15:40 interesting fact: Buster Keaton actually broke his neck doing this stunt but didn't realize it, only getting bad headaches, until 10 years later when a doctor told him he had a healed fracture there.

[@Fakeaccou13]

What a movie.. a master piece

[@i_amsarkar]

wow... awesome..

[@fxdmuller]

Thank you!

[@fxdmuller]

Thank you! :-)

[@nitrateglow]

Due to poor response at the previews, Buster cut the film down. I wonder what was left on the cutting room floor...

[@emermalliwoodgamboanunez3492]

MAGNIFICO

[@haroldkammermeyer2486]

Beautiful silent Love Story. Thanks Buster and friends.-HK

[@lisandro3304]

Dios mío, una obra de arte. Me reí todo el trayecto. Estaba buscando una película que ver, pasé por muchas hoy y terminé en los años 20 y aquí me quedé. Un capo Keaton.

[@jwsf941]

Saw this at the San Francisco Jazz Center earlier today. They had a band performing the music to this movie

[@magic32v7182]

The greatest actor!!!!!

[@fxdmuller]

Vielen Dank :-)

[@alienlentil]

10/10 talent!

[@cookmoore3736]

Buster knows all when dreaming in astral projection in the projector room I love the story and the acting very meticulous. 'Look at this scene, you could have all this' in the sinking car with a sail. 'What should I do next...? How 'bout that? How does that happen?' Kids after a kiss hmmm. Lovely inside jokes

[@simonklages9262]

Wirklich beeindruckender Film und sehr gekonnte und passende musikalische Begleitung. Gratuliere :-)

[@fxdmuller]

Simon Klages Vielen Dank! :-)

[@lindanassanga5999]

lovely

[@fxdmuller]

es un placer!

[@ErichoTTA]

Short, but great.

[@yijuncai8400]

Sherlock Jr is shows Life scenes include love with reality in this film. It’s more than that about Humor and depth inside the body of the structure. For example, this“ film in fill” will be different rolling picture/ motion picture of the sense. It’s just as life though the frame changes with all technically Milpitas, dramatic, editing and shot. Then, Reality of the tossing and turning based on “cause and effect”, “space and time”. Out side the film theory. “Film in film” about girlfienn with his agreement always changing their dream and intention evoked storying to tension and relaxation.There is one clip always touching my mind as a Cliff of the edge of the screen…

[@ncisducky4ever]

Thank you very much for uploading this masterpiece! Nothing beats "old school" special effects..film makers could learn a thing or two on how it's supposed to be done right :)

[@lovelygoldensparrow]

My fav one of his films,perhaps other than the house falling on him,lol. & I love his stuff w/the trains.I think trains were a staple in his work:)

[@ryanprince8081]

I was kinda put off at first that this video had an audience in it, but it kinda made the experience better :D

[@arjunarman5814]

Those piano chords during the final chase scene...stirred my soul. Like watching the dawn of a new age. Really.

[@igodem9875]

Шикарно !)))))

[@raymondcancel7011]

Keaton did all the stunts and that what I find interesting!

[@augustoalvarez6766]

Old but Gold.

[@palomomo234]

haha pas mal pas mal! on entend aussi les gens rire et interagir avec le film!

[@fxdmuller]

Well, the better the music, the better the effect of the film…

[@SGPAULOCH]

Very Good !!!!! Join the comedians of today, not one that gives.

[@saradellapiana628]

meraviglioso

[@CPR306]

Genius

[@ЮрийДемидов-й7ю]

das ist Gut!!!

[@HaIIoweeen]

Why this is one of the shortest flms of buster keaton?

[@MrMatthewScarborough]

I love this film, but do you happen to have the version aired on AMC in the mid 1990s with a different soundtrack that they came up with?

[@taofledermaus]

Matthew Scarborough I think I still have that recorded on VHS. I definitely liked that pipe organ version.

[@sheherazadewagon5682]

Lord's love ! describe it!

[@GBart]

Is that a laugh track, or was this filmed in a theater or something?

[@mrblondnyc]

Wonderful! This score is much better than the one on the DVD with horrible James Bond-type music. The orchestra here is subtle and moving. Where was this recorded?

[@fxdmuller]

You are welcome :-)

[@callithowiseeit5806]

Why's everyone I enjoy watching dead but everyone I loathe to see couldn't be fitter?

[@tolteko]

this was unique, is there anything similar for other films?

[@Wizardgenie]

what's the music? i love it

[@fxdmuller]

These are improvisations on piano, organ, electronics and percussion.

[@megiznerdy945]

I am confused as to why people care so much about how the film is scored, granted there is some awful scoring in some of Keaton's films, but aren't we in it for the comedy?

[@vuongvanson546]

hay qua :))

[@greekmillennial4540]

I bet this inspired Looney tunes and Disney cartoons. This is missing a pool shot though

[@hoafoto2835]

tuyệt

[@яковГруданов]

Что за прекрасная музыка орган. С любовью из России!

[@MokhetheaLenyalo]

Kopano Hatasi moona u wa ipatala!! ke shoele maal!! hhahaha

[@huumorikahvit]

brb

[@petermaxwell4904]

criticism is only useful if you learn something.

[@andrewfernandez4609]

in this year 1924 meto pictures became m.g.m

[@sirhana]

this taping is awfull, doesn't suit to plot and scenes...

[@BumdogTorres]

That laugh track was an idiotic idea.

[@fxdmuller]

There is no laugh track - this is a live recording (which includes of course the reaction of the audience)!

[@BumdogTorres]

Ah...still think it takes away from the movie. They use that in Television but the actors are able to respond to the audience reaction, and it is written and directed to accommodate that reaction. Thats not the case with Keaton's films.

[@raymondcancel7011]

This movie was funny in roaring 20th but today this stuff is not funny, maybe children will find it funny but not adults!
