Still have to recommend

Needless to say, I watched it for the title of "movies made with only one lens". A lot of people say it's cool to watch this in one go, but I always feel that there is a feeling of suffocation that I can't breathe without being able to breathe. But I have to say, first of all, the whole set of Steadicam weighs 80 pounds, which is a lot of work. In addition, the whole time is very tight. The museum gave two days, of which 26 hours were used for 40 electricians to light up 33 rooms. The rest of the time must be filmed, and the museum does not allow any more shots. It is said that there are still problems with lighting and other issues during the filming. With these kinds of things, such a good movie can still be produced, even if the plot is boring, I still have to recommend it.

It's all just my humble opinion, don't take pictures if you are upset.

    He's hard enough to make, and he's ambitious enough, but to me, it's a really unattractive film. It's really uncomfortable when the camera becomes a character throughout the film, forcing you to constantly zoom in on the camera's presence.

    The Steadicam sports long mirror (zoom and surround) that is pleasing to the eye, the important figures in Russian history who take turns appearing in the Winter Palace, resemble the extreme presentation of Joanzhe's open space-time view, but it is inevitably boring. Two narrators, photographer + narrator and diplomat, intervene in the separation, nostalgic for the past and sad for the present, and gaze at the artwork/viewer. The Russian Ark on the ocean is also a metaphor for the close relationship between Russia and Europe. (8.5/10)
