Movies like 1917 and Birdman (and perhaps even Rope, if I'm being pedantic) only have the illusion of a single shot.
The best true single shot movie I've seen is the German movie Victoria (2015), which really wouldn't have worked half as well if it was shot in a more traditional way.
- vo2maxer 7y agoThe most spectacular single shot film I’ve ever watched is Russian Ark by Alexander Sokurov. I have the dvd but it’s worth seeking in any available format.
- downerending 7y ago+1. It's kind of jarring at first--I kept wanting to see some sort of cut or break from the action. Quite an accomplishment, though. Also, and perhaps inspired by this movie, the pilot for Battlestar Galactica begins with a five- (?) minute-long single shot that introduces most of the lead characters.
