And so was that. Vertov was neither exiled nor executed but merely marginalized. (His career ended as it had begun: He spent his last 15 years editing newsreel footage, anonymously.)
His last personal project, filmed largely in Central Asia, would be a joyful celebration of mothers and children — and Stalin. Hardly artless in its rhythmic editing, Lullaby (1938) is as soothing as its title suggests. Coming from the filmmaker who, not even a decade before, had declared cinema's mission the production of a sentient audience rather than "an unconscious mass submissive to any passing suggestion," it was also a tragic irony, a wake-up call in reverse.
