Review of One Week

One Week (1920)
6/10
keaton still trying to find his way
3 January 2003
`One Week' is important as an early attempt by Buster Keaton to formulate a signature filmmaking style, but as entertainment it didn't impress me much. The bits with the storm and the train surely required some unprecedented editing ingenuity, but neither sequence is nearly as clever or funny as Chaplin's work from the same period, let alone Keaton's later films. It's nice to see how Keaton started, though (and to see how much nudity filmmakers dared to show back then).
