Michael Nyman s MAN WITH A MOVlE CAMERA
A film by Dziga Vertov
Man With a Movie Camera is an extraordinary piece of fiImmaking, a montage of urban Russian Iife showing the people of the city at work and at play, and the machines that keep the city going. lt was Vertov's first fuII-length fiIm, and he used alI the cinematic techniques at his disposaI - dissolves, spIit screen, sIow motion and freeze-frames - to produce a work that is exhiIarating and intelIectuaIIy brilliant.
This special edition DVD features a unique soundtrack speciaIly composed by Michael Nyman and performed by the Michael Nyman band.
Michael 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 dazzling inventiveness. lt was Vertov's exuberant montage and energetic lyricism which inspired Nyman to create his extraordinary score.
