Overview

Comedy Incarnate explores the intricacies of Buster Keaton's unique visual style to discover what provokes laughter in his timeless films, paying special attention to The General. Keaton's precise body comedy, coupled with his unconventional directorial decisions, suggests a new way of analyzing the film in terms of its visual elements as opposed to its narrative. Written by one of America's foremost film theorists, this in-depth examination of the comedy of the steam, steel and railroad era will provide a fresh vantage point for analysis of film and comedy itself.
