Our Hospitality

Movie Information

In Brief: Buster Keaton's Our Hospitality (1923) may not be one of his best-known, but that doesn't mean it isn't one of his best. Keaton's Southern satire, based on the historic feud between the Hatfields and McCoys, features some of his most memorable sight gags and remarkable stunt work. It also boasts no less than four Keatons — Buster, his then-wife, Natalie Talmadge, his father, Joe, and his son, Buster Jr. — and was one of Keaton's first films as an independent, following his split from MGM. They don't get much funnier than this, so if you missed the first AFS shows at Eurisko, come enjoy our hospitality with, well, Our Hospitality. The Asheville Film Society presents Our Hospitality on Tuesday, Feb. 19, at 7 p.m. with an introduction from Xpress film critic Scott Douglas at Eurisko Beer Co., 255 Short Come Ave., Asheville.
