BUSTER KEATON RIDES AGAIN – In the autumn of 1964, just over a year before his death, Buster Keaton travelled to Canada to make The Railrodder, a silent short that would turn out to be one of his final films. Documenting this mobile production in fascinating and unexpected detail, Buster Keaton Rides Again offers a rare glimpse of the comedy legend’s temperament, philosophies, hobbies, marriage (his third), and occasionally combative creative process. Canadian International Pictures fondly presents this intimate look at one of cinema’s most enduring legends. In addition, this disc includes The Railrodder and six other shorts by director – and Buster Keaton Rides Again co-star – Gerald Potterton (The Rainbow Boys, Heavy Metal).rrHELICOPTER CANADA – Made in celebration of the Canadian centennial, this Oscar-nominated documentary offers a stunning aerial exploration of the country’s vast and varied landscape. Featuring impressive widescreen cinematography by director Eugene Boyko, amusingly irreverent commentary, and even a cameo by The Beatles, this enchantingly oddball time capsule brings Canadiana to new heights. In honour of the film’s debt to the sprawling Cinerama travelogues of the ’50s, this disc also includes a presentation of Helicopter Canada in the Smilebox format, simulating the effect of a curved screen.rr rrSpecial Features:rNew 2K transfers from the 35mm interpositivesrAlternate 2.76:1 and Smilebox presentations of Helicopter CanadarAudio commentary with Gerald Potterton and David De Volpi on Buster Keaton Rides Again and The RailrodderrHors-d’oeuvre (1960, 7 min.)rMy Financial Career (1962, 7 min.)rChristmas Tree Decoration (1963, 5 min.)rThe Ride (1963, 7 min.)rThe Railrodder (1965, 25 min.)rThe Quiet Racket (1966, 7 min.)rThe Awful Fate of Melpomenus Jones (1983, 8 min.)rBonus short: Canada the Land (1970, 8 min.)rBooklet featuring a new interview with Gerald PottertonrReversible cover artworkrEnglish SDH subtitles for all 10 filmsrRegion Free
