Just saw the Cinematic Orchestra perform this with the film in NYC. Gotta say, I haven't seen this film in years (film school) and the C.O.'s twist on the soundtrack was really quite cool!
This has to be one of my favourite movies. So much was possible back then. I wonder what the next medium for art will be - film has only existed for 100 years. It's amazing that we're at a point where we can make actual visual records of the past in this way. Imagine we could go back and see what Medieval Europe was like in this way. The people were so different, and yet so similar. It's all mind-boggling!
you can get it on Amazon =]

incredible what vertov could achieve when you realize that the film was shot in 1929. and the soundtrack is phenomenal

Is this the same film for which Geir Jenssen / Biosphere produced some of the soundtrack?
