Ruttmann employs a rhythmic editing style reminiscent of the Soviets, particularly Vertov. There is a great deal of lyricism and poetry to it, and Ruttmann has a fantastic eye. Unfortunately, he doesn't really do a whole lot with the medium. Also, the first three acts can get a bit repetitive, especially with all the shots of trains. But things pick up towards the end, including a fantastic cabaret scene. All in all, it's a lovely film, but not as thought-provoking as Man With the Movie Camera.
