The films of two immense masters of the history of cinema offered at Giunti Odeon in splendid and extremely rare restored versions. We start with the 34 comedies interpreted and shot by Charlie Chaplin for the Keystone Company between 2 February and 7 December 1914. In less than twelve months Chaplin went from being an almost unknown vaudeville actor to a film star. He learnt to conceive, direct and edit his own films: just one year of whirlwind activity and a world taking shape, a character gradually taking possession of his own suit, a filmmaker conquering his place in front of and behind the camera. The Keystone comedies record, in real time, and with a dynamism, vitality and energy that are unrepeatable, the birth and evolution of one of the 20th century's most universal characters. It continues with three overwhelming masterpieces by Buster Keaton: ‘Cops’ (1922), ‘The High Sign’ (1921), ‘Neighbours’ (1921).
