Man With a Movie Camera
Dziga Vertov
1929

This was the version with the Cinematic Orchestra soundtrack as opposed to the archived "official" soundtrack. I think it worked better. Possibly because it sounded more organic. The official archival version that is supposedly based on the filmmaker's notes is really harsh and plonky and metallic-sounding. This one made the city much more human and played off the rhythm of the film better.
It's all awesome, because he's showing reality, including the reality of the film's constructedness, so he'll cut to a shot of the editing room, etc.
But the scenes with the woman waking up in the morning played much better for me this time around.
