本片是苏联纪录片导演，怪物“电影眼”理论的创始人吉加•维尔托夫（Dziga Vertov）的代表作。电影主要拍摄于乌克兰的敖德萨市，怪物摄像师是维尔托夫的哥哥米凯尔•卡夫曼（Mikhail Kaufman）。影片主要分观众入席、城市黎明、人民的工作与休息、体育运动和艺术实践几部分，通过刻画人民生活的方方面面来呈现苏维埃新社会中的一个理想城市。摄影师米凯尔•卡夫曼在拍摄的同时也出现在电影画面中，首创了“自我暴露”的电影形式。在这部具有里程碑性突破意义的纪录片中，维尔托夫首次使用了二次曝光、快进、慢动作、画面定格、跳跃剪辑、画面分割等前卫剪辑手法，并采用了仰角、特写、推拉镜头等新颖的拍摄手法，并制作了一段定格动画。

回复 :Scared of life and lacking the courage to be himself, Ludovico lives hidden away in his grandmother's old apartment. One night, the wickedness of the world goes to visit him in the form of Jack, a boy who is Ludovico's age but has the opposite character: hard, determined, perhaps criminal. The forced cohabitation of two human beings who couldn't seem more different from one another turns into an initiation rite to adulthood, the discovery of their true and respective personalities. And when the harsh reality that is mercilessly stalking them appears to present the bill, they will have to face it, bolstered by a new awareness and unhoped-for courage.

回复 :A great spanish cult movie!!This is one of the most astonishing films ever made. It has some scenes that it should be in the history of cinema. Like the filming by Fernando Fernan Gomez of the militias using a big roll of paper to win a positions. Or the begging of the film based on real events. The birth of the director inside the carp where the first cinematographer was showing "the train arriving to the station". Being shoot in really simple way it's amazing the proper use of the audiovisual language. The late Guillermo Cabrera Infante showed this film in a Canadian film festival in Spanish without subtitles when the projection finish the audience didn't move and they ask for seen the film again. The effect of this film in the audience is unbelievable. None a single person that has seen this rare Spanish movie could forget it. Except the main actor Fernando Fernan Gomez who never remember work on it.
