Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
One of the most innovative and influential films of the silent era utilizes rapid editing and innumerable other cinematic effects to create a work of amazing modernity and power. This dawn-to-dusk view of urban Soviet life shows people at work, at play, and at the machines that endlessly whirl to keep the metropolis alive. It was Vertov's first full-length film, and it employs all the cinematic techniques at the director's disposal, dissolves, split-screens, slow motion, and freeze-frames.
Originally released as a motion picture in 1929.
"To the attention of the viewers: This movie is at attempt of cinematographic representation of visual events. No intertitles (This movie has no intertitles). No screenplay (This movie is not based on any screenplay). No theatre (No sceneries, actors, etc. in this movie). This is an experiment aiming to develop a truly international cinematographic language that would be completely independent from the languages of theatre or literature"--opening statement.
