THREE AGES (Masters of Cinema) Special Edition Blu-ray – September 2023
Buster Keaton’s first foray into making feature films celebrates its centenary with a brand-new Blu-ray release
Eureka Entertainment to release THREE AGES, Buster Keaton’s first foray into making feature films, in celebration of the film’s 100th Anniversary. Presented as part of The Masters of Cinema Series in its UK debut on Blu-ray from a stunning new restoration. Available from 21 August 2023, the first print run of 2000 copies will feature a Limited-Edition O-card Slipcase.
The first feature that Buster Keaton wrote, directed, and starred in, Three Ages spoofs D.W. Griffith’s historical epic Intolerance. Like that film, Three Ages follows multiple narratives across different historical eras, which Keaton packs to the brim with incredible stunts and hilarious visual gags.
Across three eras – the Stone Age, Ancient Rome, and “modern times” – Keaton competes for the love of a woman (Margaret Leahy) whilst having to defend himself from a nasty bully (Wallace Beery).
The Masters of Cinema is proud to present yet another Keaton masterpiece in its UK debut on Blu-ray, from a stunning restoration completed in 2022 by the Cohen Film Collection.
Available to order from Eureka
