Tim Brock’s original score for Steamboat Bill Jr.
Timothy Brock’s original score for the film Steamboat Bill Jr. by Buster Keaton and Charles Reisner (USA, 1928) has been presented at the Festival “Il Cinema Ritrovato” in Bologna, on June 30th. The work is a true masterpiece, one of the most brilliant and fruitful examples of classic silent film rescored.
Brock’s score can be referred to as an inventory of irony in music: a well-studied balance of humor and melancholy that perfectly sums up the spirit of this film and, more in general, the genius of Buster Keaton.
