Man with a Movie Camera

Odessa awakens, and until it lies down its inhabitants, with their jobs, their trips, their customs, their games and their performances, are the heroes of this one-day odyssey. Not forgetting the one thanks to whom all is recorded: the cameraman and his camera. On the one hand, showing art as a job, a practice among others; on the other hand, glorifying the tool (the camera, whose lens is clearly visible). A splendidly paradoxical combination: a naked art (the manifesto that opens the film is a statement of an art stripped of its usual powers), but an alleged new art, which looks at itself proudly in the mirror.
