MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA
THIS 1929 SILENT film by the Soviet filmmaker, Dziga Vertov, is one of the classics of montage. Vertov's goal was to challenge the idea of cinematic realism, continuity (invisible) editing, and traditional narrative cinema.
In many ways it's a complex film, with fast editing, almost every cinematic technique (slow motion, double exposure, split screen, etc.) and, since there is no narrative, association montage (that is, montage based on associations of ideas rather than narrative development).
