Man with a movie camera is a 1929 silent documentary film, with no story and no actors re-released this year for the BFI festival. This is one of the most hypnotic films i have seen i a long time even though this is just basically a man , with a camera shooting everyday things in 1928 Russia. He's obvious raw talent for film making makes this an absolutely fascinating watch. The people he films are normal Russians going about their everyday life yet i could watch them for hours. I couldn't help looking at the young people wondering what would have happened to them 10 + years later in the war against Germany. He also tries to experiment with the camera quite a lot and the outcome is quite crude yet i imagine ground breaking for the time. The soundtrack can be a little annoying at times but i recommend this highly to lovers of history of film .
