“A Day in the City” is an urban symphony about the city and specifically about Stockholm in the fifties. Hultén has constructed a collage of images on the basis of the aesthetics of silent film and the montage technique of Vertov and Ruttman.
“A Day in the City” moves between pure experimentation and humorous touches, poking fun at the labyrinths of bureaucracy.
