What we can learn from 50 films set in a single location
- yazaddaruvala 9y agoIf you're even slightly intrigued by longevity, you should really watch The Man from Earth. Takes place entirely on a couch by a fireplace. Thought provoking, suspenseful and emotional.
- dogma1138 9y agoThe film clearly opens up in the end and includes the front porch and the back of a pickup truck. But yeah it’s a pretty great film and the acting remains solid despite not having a really high end cast. I think this is one of the few sci-fi works that somewhat got immortality right (and no it’s not really a spoiler).
- frading 9y agoI tried to find a film that absolutely does not cheat and remains in a single location only. I probably missed some, but they all seem to use secondary places, even for just a minute or two. But it's not necessarily a bad thing, as this can add breathing room for the audience.
- frading 9y agoYes, I am actually dissecting it at the moment. It will be the subject of a follow up. See a preview here: https://i.imgur.com/EubgS1f.jpg https://i.imgur.com/EubgS1f.jpg Definitely a great film. Poor cinematography can be a turn off for me, but not on this one.
