Dsiga Wertow documents the daily routine of a large Soviet city, assembled from Moscow, Kiev and Odessa. Wertow's masterpiece is an inspiring testimony to modern life and an ode to the power of film. The brilliant mixture of documentary film and avant-garde techniques is a radical redefinition of the boundaries of cinema. A classic that remains groundbreaking even many years later.
