A very fine documentary indeed

Keaton's story is almost predictably archetypal; a rise to fame or power within a certain realm and the inevitable decline that the changing culture brings. I am a huge fan though so I still found it interesting and enjoyed watching clips, hearing anecdotes, and learning how he did most of his trickery.

I haven't (as of me writing this) seen any of Buster Keaton's films, but because of this documentary, I feel like I have some understanding of his work and of his life. I will definitely watch some of his works, and I have a feeling I will enjoy them.
