Abstract: The review does not make the case that the recent republication of George Littera’s work is relevant for todays film criticism. On the contrary, it suggests that contemporary film criticism might not stand very well in the light of Littera’s work. In particular, it shows how his writing is concerned with the idea of value and contradictions, which is less investigated in new work concerned with subjects of history such as the working class. First, it details Littera’s assessment of Soviet avant-garde cinema. Second, it compares his book with the work of one of his UNATC collegues such as Florian Potra. Finally, it briefly investigates a mode of production and essay writing which has disappeared as technique.
