Review
'The publication of Vlada Petric's Constructivism in Film ... is a long-awaited and important moment in film criticism ... after decades in which Vertov's concepts of cinema have been insufficiently researched and often misrepresented, English-speaking readers and lovers of film as an art form have two important opportunities: (1) to obtain information directly from the source and (2) to understand Vertov's expansive achievement and its theoretical basis. At last there is much to read, seriously consider, and appreciate.' Journal of Film and Video
'In this remarkable book, Vlada Petric explicates the cinematic text of one of the most famous works of avant-garde nonfiction film, Dziga Vertov's Man with a Movie Camera ... it is difficult to imagine a better or more complete formal analysis of a single movie, or a book that teaches us more about the 'cinematic way of seeing', than Constructivism in Film'. The Russian Review

In praise of Vertov,
By Snezana Jaksic (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Constructivism in Film - A Cinematic Analysis: The Man with the Movie Camera (Cambridge Studies in Film) (Paperback)
This is the only professionally written, highly analytic, examination of the greatest documentary film of old times, Dziga Vertov's "The Man With the Movie Camera," which includes a formal analysis of virtually every shot, simultaneously represented with the respective frame enlargement.

Don't just name drop Dziga Vertov!,
By James Leavy (South West UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Constructivism in Film - A Cinematic Analysis: The Man with the Movie Camera (Cambridge Studies in Film) (Paperback)
This is an excllent title for degree level students studying film, art or european history. I found this an extremely rewarding analysis of Vertov's work and working practice. Petric writes in a way that is academic but also easily understandable for the lay. Petric does not just an analysis 'The Man With The Movie Camera' he also looks in depth at the political and artistic conditions that gave rise to constructivism.Film studies students often drop the name; Dziga Vertov without actually knowing anything about the man or his work and this book is an excellent way to learn more.
