Michael Nyman s MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA
A fiIm by Dziga Vertov
Man With a Movie Camera is an extraordinary piece of filmmaking, a montage of urban Russian life showing the people of the city at work and at pIay, and the machines that keep the city going. It was Vertov's first fulI-Iength film, and he used alI the cinematic techniques at his disposaI - dissoIves, spIit screen, sIow motion and freeze-frames - to produce a work that is exhiIarating and intellectuaIIy brilliant.
This speciaI edition DVD features a unique soundtrack specialIy composed by MichaeI Nyman and performed by the MichaeI Nyman band.
MichaeI Nyman's music has reached its Iargest audience by way of his fiIm scores. Nyman has been researching the period of extraordinary creativity which followed the Revolution and Iasted throughout most of the 1920s. Key to this period was Dziga Vertov's extraordinary fiIm Man With a Movie Camera which documents the full spectrum of 1929 Soviet urban Iife with dazzIing inventiveness. It was Vertov's exuberant montage and energetic lyricism which inspired Nyman to create his extraordinary score.
