For Vertov

About This Movie

For Vertov is this neat little homage to Dziga Vertov, where Kluge plays around with modernity and the legacy of early cinema. It's like a visual symphony, with stills rolling on a white round TV screen, while brass music and percussion create a lively backdrop. The pacing feels a bit meditative, yet the eclectic mix of sounds and images keeps your attention—at least, I found it intriguing. It’s like a conversation between past and present, with Kluge’s touch giving it a personal vibe that feels both reflective and vibrant. Definitely a piece that captures the spirit of Vertov in a way that invites contemplation.

For Vertov has seen limited physical editions, making it somewhat scarce in the collector's market. Its experimental nature and unique presentation attract those interested in avant-garde cinema and Vertov's influence. Due to its niche appeal, finding it in a well-maintained condition can be a challenge, but for collectors who appreciate the blend of sound and images, it holds significant interest.
