      Victoria--An Authentic Piece Of Cinematic Magic

      One seamless shot follows a young woman through the dark underbelly of Berlin in a unique thriller that uses its technical trickery to mesmerising effect.

      Years ago, I was watching a 1950s British drama about a woman led astray by a dashing roué. It included a whirlwind montage of highlights from their wild, cosmopolitan affair: boxing matches,...

      On the night I arrived in Berlin on my first day, I watched a movie in a big open-air park with a lot of Germans or Europeans and my friends. A day's travel and sightseeing make me very tired, of course, but even if the temperature drops as the sky gets darker while sitting on the stone floor at the same time, with this group of Germans, sometimes in English, caring about foreign guests from all over the world, there is no need to. Deliberately insist on opening your eyes to complete the...

      Seriously: it's a waste of time and not worth watching.

      The filming method of this film is too lengthy, if it is condensed into less than half an hour.
      The advantage is only one shot to the end, and the actor's foundation needs to be very strong.
      The disadvantage is a bunch of them, because one mirror is in the end, so the lens keeps shaking, and the field of view is very small, and the lights are always dim.
      The structure of the story is tedious, and to put it bluntly, it is what happened that night. I downloaded it after seeing such...

      Can the lens not shake.

      After reading it, I also admired myself, and practiced my patience again.
      It's all boring stuff, put together. It looks random, but it's actually very contrived.
      After watching it, I feel that I am more boring and absurd than the people in the movie, that kind of numb despair.
      The heroine is trying to abuse herself. A drunken life.
      The story is very simple, but the tension is very strong. I admire the director very much for being able to act for such a long time....

      One shot is very natural in the end, and it is estimated that it will be very cool to watch in the cinema~ A few minutes of piano makes the logic of the whole storyline unexpectedly reasonable and self-consistent~ However, I have been very interested in the second half of the process, just for the mere 50,000 yuan Oh, and the underworld only needs 10,000 euros, how poor is it (those guns and cars can all have 10,000 euros...) And, the drunk one is in the trunk of the full lock in the second...

      Walking on the streets of Berlin at night, talking about life on the rooftop, bicycles and piano music, it is very romantic and comfortable, but why did it suddenly become a Bonnie and Clyde style? Underground gangsters, flying cars, fighting fire in the garden... Finally, the Westin Hotel, the warm home of desperate...

      Wide space (relatively speaking), one mirror to the end, dazzling skills can be done. But there are also tricky ingredients, such as the choice of shooting time, in the middle of the night, and it is easier to operate. The space moves a lot, but the selected space is basically one that is easy to manipulate. In order to take a shot to the end, there are inevitably some relatively uninteresting...

    Evaluation action

    "Victoria" has made an extreme challenge to the expression of the film. The whole film is 140 minutes, one shot to the end, and the shooting is completed in one day, eliminating the basic post-production process of editing and synthesizing the film. Long shots are no longer a dazzling technique, but serve to create a real feeling. The 140-minute smooth continuous shot makes people forget the existence of the movie completely. The shot...

    Movie quotes

    • Victoria: I've been... I've been... I don't know the name, how you say that... I've been... in the conservatory, you know... I was in the conservatory. and I cannot continue in the conservatory because I'm not good enough, or something like that

      Sonne: Because they're stupid, or what?

      Victoria: No, it's okay. I prefer that.

      Sonne: No, really... Because it's amazing. It's like. You know, I...

      Victoria: No, it's not amazing... I don't know. I've been sixteen and a half years practicing playing the piano. every day, like seven hours every day. Seven is the maximum. You cannot play more, because you're gonna hurt your arms. And it's a really hard life, because you have no... you have no life. You have no friends. Well, the friends are like the other guys that are in the conservatory... but they are not your friends really. They're like your enemies. Because they are fighting for your dream too.

      Sonne: But was it your dream... to play?

      Victoria: Not any more.No. Because it's... You are... You... You can became a bad... I don't know. I was just thinking, for my friends, they should fail in their exams... because then I would have, like, more opportunities for me! Our teacher said to us that. just the 90% of us, we are wasting our time. It's really difficult to become a real piano player. And it's better like this. You know, when I was 12, I can remember, I was like an old lady... just playing always the fucking piano.

    • Sonne: What is this shit? What is this shit? Boxer, what is this shit, man?

    • Victoria: If you want to come inside and... for a coffee... or whatever.

      Sonne: The problem is, the problem is really, I don't drink coffee, you know? I'm just drinking cacao! You know cacao? You know like you have to... You know what I mean? I'm a cacao guy.

      Victoria: You're a cacao guy?

      Sonne: Yeah, I'm a cacao guy.

      Victoria: I have cacao inside.
