Very Special Movie
“Sherlock, Jr.” is a very special Buster Keaton movie about a projectionist who wants to be a professional detective and plays out his fantasy by entering one of the movies he’s projecting.“Sherlock, Jr.” would be good anyway, because it’s full of witty set pieces and physical stunts that showcase silent comedy at its best. But what makes it special is Keaton’s use of the film to communicate his own joy of storytelling through the medium of the movies, and the power film has to transport us into other people’s stories and fulfill our own fantasies by vicariously living through them.
This movie apparently was Keaton’s own personal favorite, and it shows. It’s got a personal touch to it that elevates it slightly above other Keaton films. It’s also the film that Woody Allen was paying homage to in his 1985 comedy “The Purple Rose of Cairo.”
