Wiki.
The Bataillon des va-nu-pieds is a Greek film. The Bataillon des va-nu-pieds is considered to be part of the neorealist wave. The music of Mkis Theodorkis is considered to be one of the best film musics, accompanying the image and giving it a deeper meaning. Eisenstein had been able to do what this soundtrack has done. The chief operator since the 1920s is Michalis Giazidis. He used the camera that he started to use in 1924. He used the same six projectors to illuminate his scenes, giving him an intense representation of the light and the holograms.
