Our Hospitality

An uproariously funny satire on the famed Hatfield-McCoy family feud, set in the Ozarks and ending with one of Keaton's anthology pieces, a breathtaking and beautifully manipulated last-minute rescue at a waterfall. Like The General, this film reveals Keaton's talent for recreating a period of American history with uncanny accuracy and genuine poetic feeling. If only for its attention to details of costume, manners and setting, Our Hospitality qualifies as one of the great masterworks of American Cinema.
