Review of Man with a Movie Camera (1929) by Marta Elena S — 20 May 2008

I know this movie was innovative for its time or whatever, but that's all it is: a huge step for cinema and documentaries everywhere. but I look to movies for entertainment, not for historical value.

and all this movie was to me was some nice music laid beside some footage of russia. the cinematography is indeed gorgeous, but if I want to see the beauty of old-school russia, I would prefer to look at a painting, not an 80 minute long movie.
