Great movie. I’ve seen many with the “one take” premise. Time code, Russian Ark and the ones that pretend but don’t really. Rope and snake eyes. Victoria is an amazing feat of filmmaking.
1917 is very similar. May be more than one due to the main character getting knocked out. Highly recommend watching. Great War movie
According to Schipper, the first attempt was dull because the actors were too cautious, being afraid to make mistakes; the second attempt was the opposite, as the actors went “crazy”. Schipper says he became “angry” and “terrified” after seeing the second take and realizing he had only one chance left; in a subsequent meeting, he gave the cast a “hairdryer speech … [it] was not a meeting that ended in hugs and ‘good talk.’ It was crazy. But the tension was built on knowing we wanted the same thing”. Schipper believes the final attempt was successful because there was an element of “aggression” missing from the other versions.[7]
Added to my watch list, I’m super intrigued to see how the final cut turned out.
While the two are alone inside, Sonne notices a piano, tinkles a bit on it and then dares Victoria to also play something
