Man with a Movie Camera
Avg rating 8.9 / My rating TBC
1929 · Directed by Dziga Vertov · With Mikhail Kaufman
- Silent Cinema
- Soviet Montage
- Art Cinema
A cameraman and his camera travel through a single day of city life, from waking streets to factories, beaches and theatres. There is no story and no actors in the usual sense: the film is an argument about what cinema can do, made out of everyday reality.
