Review of Man with a Movie Camera (1929) by Jonathan S — 20 May 2008
One of the most amazing achievements ever committed to celluloid. Vertov's ingenious ballet of motion and breakthrough camera techniques redefined cinematic language forever. A movie like this will never be made again.
Innovative and awe-inspiring. A miraculous look at what can be done with a camera and some imagination. A fantastic and relentless staggering experiment. Watch the version with Michael Nyman's score.
I was elated by this film.
