ONE WEEK (1920) **1/2 Buster Keaton gets married, and someone gives him a build-it-yourself house as a present. You'd think that you could figure most of the variations to come, but.it's the damn Amityville Horror house, but less realistic! Ah, those old Slapstick guys, they could make jokes out of anything. Nineteen minutes worth of DYI instruction from a master. You know Kierkegaard said you should read "Purity of Heart is to Will One Thing," in a unique subjective manner, you know, reading a bit here and then there.turns out you can build houses the same way. Early application of the theories of one discipline to another, along the lines suggested by Hermann Hesse in "Das Glasperlenspiel." So it's an intellectual work about falling all over the place!
