Le premier jour, le cinéaste prend à cadence normale quelques secondes du va-et-vient habituel de la circulation, les calèches, les chariots, et la foule des piétons. Puis, pendant les quelques semaines que dure l'opération de démolition du Star Theater, à New York, la caméra reste au même endroit, bien calée, filmant à travers la fenêtre d’un immeuble placé juste en face. Par des démarrages et des arrêts de caméra successifs, le cinéaste prend quelques vues à chaque demi-heure de la journée (il exclut le soir, la nuit et le petit matin, dont les lumières ne sont pas assez actiniques pour obtenir une image correctement exposée). À la projection, la démolition s’effectue ainsi en 1 min 30 s, les matériaux sont pris d’une sorte de folie autodestructrice, les ombres tournoient, les piétons s’activent comme des insectes, le store d’une boutique proche s’ouvre et se ferme à un rythme infernal, les étages du Star Théâtre disparaissent l'un après l'autre. « Quand seuls subsistent des monceaux de pierres que des fardiers débarrassent, le calme revient, un autre morceau du film à vitesse normale montre les piétons, indifférents aux ruines, qui vaquent à leurs occupations. » C’était à ce moment que derrière son public, l’opérateur respectait l’annonce du titre : "démolition et reconstruction", et il rembobinait le film à l’aide de l’appareil de projection sans éteindre la lanterne. Le Star Théâtre renaissait alors de ses ruines et se dressait de nouveau par la magie de la marche arrière.

Le documentaire retrace la vie à Paris entre 1900 et 1914. Ce film a utilisé de vrais documents d'époque, et des extraits de plus de sept cents films d'actualités, de reportages, mais aussi des séquences privées. Le montage et le texte qui accompagne les images ont été appréciés par la critique : ce film est devenu une référence.
