Review of Man with a Movie Camera (1929) by Cameron M — 21 Apr 2009

Interesting use of editing and camera movement (not to mention matte shots and split screens, which fall under editing, but should be mentioned). The film is interspersed with visual abstractions that are later clarified, allowing the audience to see the process behind the images-not to diminish the spectacle, but to reinforce it; the film's self-reflexivity is one of it's strong points.
