Negative Positive
Title: Less than ultimate edition
Review: Kino's first Blu-Ray release of a Keaton film included multiple music tracks, including a piano score. In more recent releases, though (including this one) it has only offered the jarring and insipid music of Robert Israel. During live showings of Keaton films in Minneapolis I have witnessed piano scoring (the best) and creative contemporary scores by local groups. A great musical score really helps to accentuate the strengths of the film instead of calling attention to itself. Israel's work is subpar and takes away from the experience.
Is the review positive or negative?
