Samuel Becket’s Short Film

Today I discovered that Samuel Becket made this short film (21 minutes) in 1965, nearly silent, starring Buster Keaton at 70, the year before his death. A summary of it seems right out of the infamous filmography footnote to Infinite Jest.

An anonymous man, played by Keaton, goes to great lengths to avoid being seen by any living thing, particularly the viewer.
