On Fatty se déchaîne, trumpeter Airelle Besson displays her talents as a composer and assembles for the occasion a most original quartet.<p> There's a touch of Laurel & Hardy in the silent films of Roscoe Arbuckle, the American comedian and filmmaker of the 1920s. And a touch of Buster Keaton too. A sophisticated clown and filmmaker, an athlete and comedian, as agile as he was corpulent, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, in his time, rivaled Charlie Chaplin in popularity.<br><br> On Fatty Unleashed, a selection of three short films – Fatty the Butcher, Fatty at the Clinic, and Fatty in Love – with briskly paced narratives, trumpeter Airelle Besson showcases her composing talents and assembles a truly original quartet for the occasion. A wonderful moment of relaxation to enjoy with the family as spring arrives.</p>
