If you're a serious cinephile, there isn't an era of filmmaking that doesn't pique your interest but one period that is often overlooked with a surprising amount of regularity is the silent era.
Hopefully, #RamiMalek's new series, where he'll star as silent film legend #BusterKeaton, will inspire a new generation of movie buffs to familiarize themselves with the period.

@thewebrecluse quite true. I consider myself a huge fan of films from the 30s & 40s, but I haven’t seen many silent films.
I do like Pandora’s Box, and I’ve always enjoyed the Garbo silent movies that I’ve seen.
@thewebrecluse I hope it does inspire.
I'm definitely interested. Intrigued by the casting, because I don't think of Malek as a very physical actor but he is very talented.
@thewebrecluse Keaton was uniquely physical. I predict a lot of cgi
@thewebrecluse I'll be interested to see this.
