3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jul-01-2006; These other guy's are only saying this is good to look cool & get chicks...; seriously, I can see how the camera work might of blown people away back when this was made (especially the scene in the factory where it keeps flicking like a strob to all the loud factory noise.) but today it just wont excite.

2/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Nov-28-2007; Dull early experimental film; Some early films continue to shine because of their artistry. Others get devalued because technology has dated them. This is ond of the latter. I found this film collage of life in 1929 Russia to be dull. Editing which might have seemed...; read full review | report as inappropriate
