A fascinating experiment in cinematic mise-en-scene and perspective. The film takes an observational approach and produces some very beautiful and meticulous sequences and shots. I recommend watching the version scored by The Cinematic Orchestra, who create a perfect score that blends wholly with the visuals.

Yummy!, trippy and among one of the best films I've seen. Vertov creates a bizarre little world. Filmed before and during Buster Keaton's Sherlock Jr. you have to wonder what came first the chicken or the egg. Things were happening simultaneously in this exciting period of cinema. The opening is strong, then there may be a lull for about 20 minutes, but it takes off again.
