Our Take

Our Hospitality (1923) - Keaton takes the concept of the Southern blood feud and turns it into a high-stakes survival horror. With a train that looks like a motorized matchstick and a waterfall stunt that should have ended his life, this is a masterclass in organic tension. It’s a film where the environment is the villain and Keaton’s physical timing is the only thing standing between him and a watery grave. It’s beautiful, it’s dangerous, and it’s flawlessly executed.
