‘Mand over Bord’ med live-musik af Lars Fjeldmose

Instruktør: Buster Keaton

ENGLISH TEXT BELOW

Buster dukker op i den lille by ved Mississippi-floden, hvor hans far ejer en dampbåd. Faren bryder sig ikke om sønnens lapsede manerer eller om, at den unge mand forelsker sig i datteren til en velhavende rival. Buster viser dog, hvilket stof han er gjort af, da en voldsom tyfon hærger byen. Det sker i en lang sekvens bestående af virtuose stunts, forrygende action-optrin og perfekt timet spænding. LIVE-MUSIK: Lars Fjeldmose.

Buster turns up in a small town on the Mississippi River where his penniless father owns a steamboat. The father does not like his son’s dandified manners nor the fact that the young man falls in love with the daughter of a wealthy business rival. Unsurprisingly, however, Buster gets the opportunity to show what he is truly made of when a violent typhoon ravages the town. This takes place in a long sequence consisting of virtuoso stunts, carefully staged action scenes and perfectly timed tension. Among the many comic highlights is a scene where father and son buy hats, played directly into the camera as if it were a mirror. LIVE MUSIC: Lars Fjeldmose.
