An exuberant montage of urban Russia, it represents the people of the city at work and at play, and the machines that keep the city going, with energetic lyricism. A member of the Soviet avant-garde, Vertov used a variety of pioneering cinematic techniques to document the full spectrum of 1929 Society life - dissolves, split screen, slow motion and freeze frames - and produced a radical experiment in film that is exhilarating and intellectually brilliant.
