Forty minute long piece from Dmitri Kirsanoff, 1926
Quickly cut, but following a narrative, however it may look associational at times. This has a frenzied pace to it, with fast camera movements, the quick cutting, blurs. Even the action seems to happen at a kind of intensified pace, though the acting is wonderfully understated. It tells its story with great charm, and very impressively considering the lack of intertitles.
One really finds Paris here; there is a realism in the obviously street-shooting, in the lack of sentimentality regarding the part-players. The fast montage takes us all around. A tough film to take in, clearly very innovative.
