Earth (1930)
a film by Alexander Dovzhenko
It is amazing how such an old movie can look so modern and daring. Dovzhenko films the sky, films the faces of people, film from the bottom even making cows look epic, moves the camera the over the dancing wheat making it look like a roaring crowd, frames a sunflower and makes it weep. This beautiful film explodes all the versatility of cinema to bring a political message. In this movie the sharp angles and the creative framing speaks as much as the brilliant music.
Thanks for the tip Annie Hall!
