Criterion Collection: Documentaries

“"Life caught unawares," that's how Soviet filmmaker Dziga Vertov defined the principle and art of documentary in the thirties. Yet the documentary has taken so many forms over the past century that it is too simple to call it the mere recording of reality.” (via Criterion’s “DOCUMENTARIES”)
