I don't have a formal background in film, and generally find silent films dated and boring, but this really grabbed me. It has that flow and dynamism of an actual symphony, and even though I lack the vocabulary to describe what I saw in this, it's definitely much more than a nostalgia trip. The editing and camera direction /cinematography are what grabbed me. If it had been a film about NYC or Chicago, SF, LA, I might be nostalgic as well, but not here. This is just a fine documentary that is much more than mere journalism.
