5.0 out of 5 stars In praise of Vertov, May 8, 2004
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't just name drop Dziga Vertov!, August 21, 2003

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.
