Although it's been years since I saw it, it's a film which probably works on two levels. Academically speaking, it is a brilliant exercise in filmmaking, inventing numerous different techniques and styles, from slow motion and freeze-frame to jump cuts to the Kuleshov Effect and possibly the first use of long tracking shots.

On the other hand, it is very watchable and you don't need to be a film scholar or academic to appreciate what is on screen and simply watch it for what it is rather than study it for its historical context.

It's probably on YouTube, so give it a watch and see what you think.
