“One Week” is a 1920 American silent short comedy film directed by Buster Keaton and Edward F. Cline. It was Keaton’s first independently released film and is widely regarded as a masterpiece of physical comedy. The story follows a newlywed couple who receive a prefabricated house kit as a wedding gift. However, a jealous rival sabotages the numbering on the crates, leading to a hilariously disastrous attempt at construction. The house ends up with revolving walls, misplaced doors, and an unpredictable structure that culminates in a spectacular train collision. The film is packed with inventive sight gags and showcases Keaton’s impeccable timing and daring stunts.
