Review of Man with a Movie Camera (1929) by Tim S — 19 Feb 2010
Not for everyone, but a film buff's wet dream. Full of amazing visuals and editing styles that would make even James Cameron wonder why there is a need for CG in film. I highly suggest that you do not see the version with the 1996 musical soundtrack because the music is horrible and takes away from the film.
If you do happen to come across this version, I suggest muting the soundtrack and adding your own score such as using Johnny Greenwood's score for There Will Be Blood which kind of worked out eerily well.
Again, not for everyone, but really shows the power of fantastic editing more than anything.
