Didascalie in inglese / English intertitles. Questa serie di documentari realizzata dal noto comico televisivo inglese Paul Merton presenta l’opera di cinque grandi clown del cinema muto senza alcuno spirito di condiscendenza e senza alcuna vena nostalgica. Partendo da una profonda stima professionale per questi maestri, il programma riesce a dimostrare ancora una volta la loro intramontabilità artistitica, Merton scherza, improvvisa, dialoga
con il suo pubblico, ma allo stesso tempo descrive sapientemente le carriere dei silent clowns, analizza i loro film e fornisce, senza parere, una mole di informazioni. Soprattutto, comunica intenso affetto ed ammirazione per i suoi eroi. La serie, prodotta dalla BBC Bristol, è nata a partire dal coinvolgimento personale di Merton nelle prime due edizioni del Bristol Slapstick Festival, che in parte deve a lui la sua stessa esistenza ed il suo ragguardevole successo. Le scene con il pubblico dal vivo sono state girate perlopiù al Bristol Watershed, ma, in parte, anche alle Giornate del Cinema Muto del 2005, in occasione della presentazione di You’re Darn’Tootin’; e molte familiari figure delle Giornate appaiono nei programmi, insieme a collaboratori d’eccezione come Marcel Marceau che dichiara la sua adorazione per Chaplin. Fra i materiali d’archivio, un’intervista con Marvin Hatley, il compositore della “Dance of the Cuckoos” di Stanlio ed Ollio. Ogni programma si conclude con la proiezione di uno dei cortometraggi più significativi del comico esaminato. La serie è stata accolta con un eccezionale consenso di critica e di pubblico (l’episodio su Keaton ha avuto il più alto indice d’ascolto mai raggiunto da BBC4 con un documentario). – DAVID ROBINSON This apparently easy-going and playful television documentary series may well have struck a significant blow for the wider acceptance and understanding of silent cinema in Britain and perhaps further afield.That one of Britain’s most popular comedians should present the work of five great silent filmmaker clowns – not in a spirit of condescension or nostalgia, 157 but out of sheer professional admiration and even reverence – was a massive commendation in the sight of a popular public; and Paul Merton calls on other comedy contemporaries to supplement his own valuation of the surpassing skills of these classic forebears. Merton fools and gags and chats to his live audiences; but at the same time he is a genuine authority on silent comedy, and painlessly imparts a great deal of information, instruction, and analysis of the films.Above all, he communicates an intense affection and admiration for his heroes.As the reaction of the contemporary audiences reveal, he leaves them in no doubt that these films are funnier than anything they can see anywhere else today. The series was produced by BBC Bristol, and evolved from Merton’s personal involvement with the first two editions of the Bristol Slapstick Festival, which to a great extent owes its existence and outstanding success to his energetic support.The scenes with live audience were shot mainly at Bristol Watershed, but in part at the 2005 Giornate del Cinema Muto, on the occasion of the performance of You’re Darn Tootin’; and a good many familiar Giornate figures appear throughout the programmes, alongside contributors as distinguished as Marcel Marceau, declaring his worship of Chaplin.Archival film includes an interview with Marvin Hatley, composer of Laurel and Hardy’s “Dance of the Cuckoos”. Each of the programmes concludes with a complete screening of an outstanding short by the subject of the episode. On its first screening this year the series received outstanding press reviews; and the Keaton episode achieved the highest-ever viewing figures for a factual programme on BBC4. DAVID ROBINSON VIDEO
