I'm not as sophisticated a film viewer as probably either of you are, or at least I have no academic background complete with having had the opportunity/assignment to critically analyze this type of cinema, so I am going to take some time to actually watch these movies over the holidays.
That said, have either of you seen "Cold Case: Hammarskjold"? It's a stylized documentary, which is the only reason it even came to mind while reading your entry today. I won't say anything else about it, because it gets absolutely nuts, and I'd be genuinely in anyone else's opinion on it, especially someone with a critical eye to, and education in filmmaking.
Great piece, I dont know Vertov's work, but while not being art, this made me think of Joe Rogan and the aesthetic he's cultivated. As this open minded psychonaut that is ready to listen to all sorts of people. Yet slowly thru out the years his thinking has become so far right.
The F word gets thrown around a lot now so I'm not sure if it's fascist but definitely sneaky propaganda that has swindled a ton of people it seems like. The "bro" unassumingly aestheticized politics in a big way.
