The Cameraman
1928 · TMDB 7.8
Directed by Edward Sedgwick
A photographer takes up newsreel shooting to impress a secretary.
Why it matters
Buster Keaton's last great silent feature, a comedy about a would-be newsreel cameraman. It is a masterclass in physical comedy and visual storytelling, and a poignant farewell to the silent era.
