Nearly a century after his short film debut, the scope of Buster Keaton's early career is finally being explored in full. "Buster Keaton: The Shorts Collection (1917-1923)" builds on a previous 2011 Blu-ray release, adding new titles to the years when Keaton joined comedian Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle on the screen, establishing his brand of poker-face reactions and physical humor before striking out on his own. It's an odyssey that samples genres and ambition, but always delivers Keaton's special touch with two-reeler cinematic pursuits, honing skills that would later be exploited to perfection in his feature-length movie career. Included here are 33 shorts, lovingly restored by the team at Lobster Films, who do their best to preserve Keaton's legacy despite working with scattered source material. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
