The Mack Sennett Collection, Vol. One Blu-ray

Reseña del editor Triple Blu-ray set. The Keystone Film Company, under the guidance of pioneering producer and director Mack Sennett, was the birthplace of classic American slapstick comedy. This historic studio was at one time home to a staggering number of silent screen luminaries. Hollywood icon Charlie Chaplin, still the world's most recognized actor, introduced his beloved Tramp character under the auspices of Keystone. Later, under the Mack Sennett Comedies banner, Sennett went on to produce a new generation of sound comedies, some in early color. Now, for the first time, thanks to Flicker Alley, CineMuseum, and Keystone Films, the best surviving Sennett comedies have been gathered from around the world, fully restored, and digitally re-mastered in HD for Blu-ray home video. The Mack Sennett Collection, Vol. One features the first 50 of these films. Críticas Mack Sennett (1880-1960) is famous for discovering Charlie Chaplin, creating the Keystone Kops, coining the term bathing beauty and being, as his front-page obituary in The New York Times called him, the film pioneer whose name was synonymous with slapstick comedy. All true, but as demonstrated by the 50 mainly short films digitally restored and gathered in a three-disc Blu-ray set, The Mack Sennett Collection Volume One (Flicker Alley), he was something more. Sennett defined (or redefined) American humor. There is scarcely a physical clown or verbal wiseguy whose antics or attitude Sennett did not anticipate. Writing in Movie-Made America: A Cultural History of American Movies, the cultural historian Robert Sklar cited Sennett's 'inventive, resourceful vulgarity,' crediting his primitive two-reel comedies with 'cutting a wider swath through society and its values than any previous expression of the comic tradition in America, with the single exception of that 19th-century masterpiece of comic prose, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.' --J. Hoberman, The New York TimesThe Sennett box is a frankly amazing cavalcade of low comedy that's both culturally revelatory and often hilarious (not to mention jaw-droppingly tasteless). --RogerEbertThe subtitle of this three-disc set of silent-era classics is '50 Digitally Restored Classic Films;' but that doesn't even begin to describe what The Mack Sennett Collection; has to offer. The real value is in the commentary tracks by scholars and archivists who talk about how one of Hollywood's all-time greats gathered and nurtured a phenomenal collection of comic talent. --'Noel Murray's Best DVDs of 2014,' The Los Angeles Times
