Eureka! has announced its August 2023 line-up, which features Buster Keaton's first foray into filmmaking,Three Ages, and The Skyhawk, a 1974 kung-fu classic starring Kwan Tak-hing, Carter Wong and Sammo Hung.

THREE AGES (USA 1923) | Blu-ray | 21 August 2023 | £18.99

The first feature that Buster Keaton wrote, directed, and starred in, Three Ages spoofs D.W. Griffith's historical epic Intolerance. Like that film, Three Ages follows multiple narratives across different historical eras, which Keaton packs to the brim with incredible stunts and hilarious visual gags.

Across three eras – the Stone Age, Ancient Rome, and "modern times" – Keaton competes for the love of a woman (Margaret Leahy) whilst having to defend himself from a nasty bully (Wallace Beery).

The Masters of Cinema presents yet another Keaton masterpiece in its UK debut on Blu-ray, from a stunning restoration completed in 2022 by the Cohen Film Collection.
