Customer Reviews

“Living Russia,” or “The Man with a Camera,” or “Dziga Vertov”

A well-crafted film by Dziga Vertov that resembles a documentary showcasing the man and the city. We constantly view a fictional city, which is contrasted with the man behind the camera. Shot in black and white in 1929, this film is often compared to “Berlin: Symphony of a Great City,” but it is much more. The real interest in the movie is how it is cut and the choices of what to film. Every time you turn around, you will see something, not like other documentaries. What is real and what is film reality? Filming locations are: Kyiv, Ukraine Kharkiv, Ukraine Odesa, Ukraine Moscow, Russia - Bolshoy Theatre The voice-over is just as good, if not better than the original film, as it describes how the film was made. An added plus is just looking at ancient technology. And then again, how they are ahead of us in electric transportation.
