'The publication of Vlada Petric's Constructivism in Film … is a
long-awaited and important moment in film criticism … after decades
in which Vertov's concepts of cinema have been insufficiently
researched and often misrepresented, English-speaking readers and
lovers of film as an art form have two important opportunities: (1)
to obtain information directly from the source and (2) to
understand Vertov's expansive achievement and its theoretical
basis. At last there is much to read, seriously consider, and
appreciate.' Journal of Film and Video
'In this remarkable book, Vlada Petric explicates the cinematic
text of one of the most famous works of avant-garde nonfiction
film, Dziga Vertov's Man with a Movie Camera … it is difficult to
imagine a better or more complete formal analysis of a single
movie, or a book that teaches us more about the 'cinematic way of
seeing', than Constructivism in Film'. The Russian Review
