Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I didn't say you did, but...

...regarding the need to research... many artworks, not just films, often benefit from prior knowledge of history - both general and an artist in question in particular. While it is true that a work of art should be recognizable (generally speaking) as such upon just stumbling over it, they universally grow stronger feet with knowledge.

Vertov's film is interesting all by itself, but you are bound to appreciate it much more after reading on him and his works.

BTW - a very minor clarification note - Abramovich was his paternal name (meaning his father's first name was Abram - a Russian for Abraham), not surname, which was Kaufman. Gotta be careful with those Russian names.
