R.E.M. x Buster Keaton's Sherlock (U)

Silents Synced pairs classic silent films with epic rock music for a unique big-screen experience. Buster Keaton’s 1924 comedy comes alive with R.E.M.’s Monster (1994) and New Adventures in Hi-Fi (1996).

Keaton plays a projectionist-turned-detective, using his wits (and stunts!) to clear his name after being framed for stealing his girlfriend’s father’s watch.

A must-see for film buffs and rock fans alike!
