Man with the movie camera (music from the cinematic orchestra) - Dziga Vertov - Russia - (1929)

 

 The film Man with a Movie Camera represents
AN EXPERIMENTATION IN THE CINEMATIC TRANSMISSION
Of visual phenomena
WITHOUT THE USE OF INTERTITLES
(a film without intertitles)
WITHOUT THE HELP OF A SCRIPT
(a film without script)
WITHOUT THE HELP OF A THEATRE
(a film without actors, without sets, etc.)

Un-fucking-believable experience watching this classic Russian experimental movie. It blew my mind !  Those guys had invented EVERYTHING, from all kinds of editing techniques to framing, angles, depth of shot, multiple screens, etc....This version is even more amazing , thanks to the wonderful music from the Cinematic Orchestra (Edited by Ninjatune)

 
  
  
  
  
  

Watch it entirely here, it's only one hour long. But one hour really, really, really well spent !
