Review of Man with a Movie Camera (1929) by Luisa C — 05 Jul 2009

Dziga Vertov invented cinema with this one film. He knew the potential way before anyone else, even Eisenstein was a couple of years behind. The pair of them defined cinema and to be honest, few film since have matched Man with a Movie Camera as far as originality, importance and joyfulness goes.

I love this film, I could watch it over and over again. The BFI DVD realise has 3 fantastic soundtracks to choose from too, so if you're going to buy it, buy that version, its glorious!
