Description
Voted the greatest documentary of all time in the 2014 Sight & Sound poll, Dziga Vertov's revolutionary film, Man with a Movie Camera, uses a dazzling array of cinematic techniques to capture the lives of city dwellers at work and at leisure, as well as the machines that keep the city running. Presented with Michael Nyman's celebrated score, this classic is accompanied by an exciting selection of extras, including Vertov's Three Songs of Lenin and two of his radical 1925 documentaries, both featuring equally radical new soundtracks created by electronic group Mordant Music.
