"A truly radical and liberating work."—Peter Watts, Time Out

"A masterpiece of avant-garde experimentalism and, fleetingly, an unexpected critique of the continuing class struggle."—Graham Fuller, The Arts Desk

One of the most innovative and influential films of the silent era, Dziga Vertov’s debut feature Man With A Movie Camera employs innumerable cinematic effects—dissolves, split-screens, slow-motion, freeze-frames, and the technique de jeur of rapid cuts—to produce a work of amazing modernity and power that is as exhilarating as it is intellectually brilliant.This city symphony is a dawn-to-dusk view of urban Soviet life showing people at work, at play, and at the machines that endlessly churn to keep the metropolis alive.
