working title Man with a Movie Camera?????


Isn't that a 1929 film? So what's the actual name of this movie? I want to see it, I think. Or maybe not.

If the makers of this "Snuff-Movie" would have the pretentious nerve to call this "The man with the Movie-Camera", it would be an insult to the memory and heritage of Dziga Vertov. Great Russian filmpioneer, and every filmstudent all over the globe should know his name. This "Man with the Movie-Camera" made "reality-TV" before TV existed. Did "Industrial Light & Magic" before anyone had ever heard of the words: special effects...
"Chellovek Kino-apparatyom" is the Russian title of Vertov's Monumental filmclassic, and to quote Alec DeLarge (Stanley Kubrick, A Clockwork Orange"):
"Vidi well, and vidi good, my little droogs"
