"Entuziazm" toont de zegeningen van Lenins vijfjarenplan voor het Donbekken. Vertov doet dat door eerst de nefaste gevolgen van alcoholisme te tonen en de slechte invloed van de kerk.

Description
------------------
Dziga Vertov"s Entuziazm is considered a masterpiece of early sound film and of Soviet avant-garde cinema. Dealing with the Five Year Plan of the late 1920s, it was praised by artists like Charlie Chaplin, was subsequently forgotten, and rediscovered by the avant-garde movement of the 1960s.

This edition presents the film, for the first time on DVD, in two versions: the print preserved in the former Soviet Union"s Gosfilmofond as well as Peter Kubelka"s fascinating restoration which - by re-syncing the image and sound - allows the viewer to experience what Vertov considered the new language of sound cinema. In Restoring Entuziazm, Peter Kubelka - filmmaker and co-founder of the Austrian Film Museum - demonstrates the principles of his restoration work und discusses Vertov"s concepts of cinema. The Extras section presents two more rare documents from the Austrian Film Museum"s Vertov collection.
