for those who thought City of God's director had a frenetic pace... best avoid this film. It makes the Brasilian's effort seem molasses-slow.
I was amazed at the beauty of the cinematography and especially by the Fx that is so much better than the digitized crap we get today (compare 2001 and SW, I dare ya).
Anyhow, Vertov was anti-film and it shows. After the first 10 minutes, it takes a Russian-sized force of will to watch this through to the end.
Avant-garde film is wonderful because it exposes other directors to new ideas.
An entire film of it is like asking for a beer and getting a one liter tankard of froth.
