2024 marks a century since Buster Keaton's best loved comedy first graced the big screen - and The Lucky Dog Picturehouse is celebrating in style with their critically-acclaimed original (but period-authentic) score performed live by their cinema quartet!
A young, unlucky-in-love cinema projectionist finds his dreams dashed when a dastardly robbery leaves his reputation in tatters. To clear his name he must turn detective - but will he solve the crime?
Sherlock Jr. (1924) features Buster as both director and star, and replete with death-defying stunts, jaw-dropping special effects and even a bit of romance, it's easy to understand why it consistently finds itself named among TIME magazine's 'Best 100 movies of all time'.
Also including some rarely seen silent comedy gems.
'The Lucky Dog Picturehouse mix a lip-smacking cocktail of classic silent movies and zesty new live music, garnished by their own delight in entertaining and educating an audience. Whether you're a silent-cinema newcomer or an aficionado, their events make everyone feel like a lucky dog!' Nicholas Barber, Film Critic, BBC Culture
'A Triumph!' International Buster Keaton Society (2019)
