"Dziga Vertov's legendary and highly influential 1929 wordless documentary Man With A Camera receives a tribute and update at once with Michael Nyman's attempt at 'a truly international absolute language', the original's stated intention. Where Vertov's camera captured life in Soviet cities only, Nyman is able to take the aim one step further, reflecting our modern world: here, the locales themselves give evidence of today's accepted international interaction. 26 countries and territories are listed in the credits, and Nyman's camera moves as freely between continents as it does between social classes, activities and cinematic devices. What appears at times to be haphazard collage shows abundant evidence of clever segues that imply plays-on-words or v! arious views of a single subject" (Kenton Turk, The Art Resort).
