Talk about a view of a particular city from a filmmakers perspective. With some unique editing and some nice transitions, this a film that took years to put together with a camera simply presenting the daily routines of all segments of Russian society. It uses every kind of special effect availably in 1929 and puts it out there. The segments are counterpoint to each other, showing the remarkable skill of the editor. This is better seen than talked about. When I saw Koyanisqaatsi, I was blown away by it's brilliant portrayal of waste and change in the world. That film owes a great deal to this one. I had never heard of it until a week or so ago and I was very impressed.
