A twenty-minute, almost totally silent film (no dialogue or music, one 'shhh!') in which Buster Keaton attempts to evade observation by an all-seeing eye.

Subject: Wish there were more films like this on archive
Can't believe this hasn't been reviewed yet. One of the most expressive films in the archive. Interesting interplay between camera and subject. Minimalist and sparse; goes to show that silent film can get down to the fundamentals.
