When Comedy Was King
Трогательная, ностальгическая ретроспектива Роберта Янгсона о Золотом веке немой комедии с особым вниманием к трем признанным гениям комиксов того времени: Чарли Чаплину, Бастеру Китону и Гарри Лэндону. О двух крупнейших комедийных студиях той эпохи, Мака Сеннетта и Хэла Роуча. О комиках Лореле и Харди, которые считаются великими новаторами в области визуальной комедии-фарса.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Youngson employs editing as a time machine, splicing archival footage into a living textbook of comedy. His approach is not mere chronicle, but a dissection of gag anatomy through specific masters.
What lingers after viewing is the sensation of peering into cinema's inner sanctum, where every frame feels like an invention. It frames humor as a precise, visual science. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Robert Youngson
Best Watched
The flicker of a dusty projector in a film archive, the scent of celluloid, and bursts of silent, geometric slapstick.
