*Steamboat Bill, Jr.*, released in 1928, is the final masterpiece of Buster Keaton’s Golden Age, just before he joined the major Hollywood studios.
An adventure in which the silent film genius, working on a steamboat sailing down the Mississippi, faces the whims of machinery and the fury of the elements, all while pursuing love. It took all the inventiveness of the trio led by pianist and composer Pierre Boespflug—a lover of jazz and improvised music (notably with the Ark Trio and the Couleur.S Sextet)—to reinvent the music for this film brimming with madness, grace, and poetry.
