"Three Ages" is a sparkling comedy, included in our program to
celebrate the work and contributions of Joe Roberts, a star of Silent Hall of
Fame.
"Three Ages" is Buster Keaton's first feature film. Before that he
created 19 amazing short comedies and Joe Roberts was his partner in 16 of
them.
"Three Ages" tries to prove the point that love has not changed
throughout human history, on the example of the stone age, the Roman
civilization and modern times.
