Abstract
The author investigates in depth the ""first avant-garde film of the USA'', the
motion-picture ""MANHATTA'' (1920) by Charles Sheeler and Paul Strand. It
discusses Walt Whitman's intertitles, its narrative structure, its sense of
closure and some of its modernist imagery (extreme angles of vision, its
light/shadow play, rythmic montage, its portraiture of the urban landscape).
