We've seen some great long shots in film. We've seen movies edited to look like one, long, unbroken take. But the film Victoria (2015), directed by Sebastian Schipper, is the real deal. One 2 plus hour film shot entirely in one go. Today I'll introduce the film, talk about some of the challenges of pulling off such a crazy filmmaking feat, and share some of the even crazier things that made Victoria the special film that it is.

The problem with this approach, that this dedication to one-shot moviemaking is so powerful, that it overshadows everything else the movie offers, to a point that it ALMOST becomes a gimmick. However, this one-shot method gives such an intensity to the performances and action, that this film did become the most exhilarating movie experience I've had in the past 10 years at least.

I remember having to watch this movie for one of my college classes: the subtitles didn't work, so I had to watch it without understanding what most characters were saying. Oddly enough, it was really inmmersing, and it felt like I was with the characters and the protagonist, being placed in a chaotic situation that I couldn't figure out.

Top 5 film of all time for me. I absolutely love how it captures the feeling of "Do you ever have one of those nights where it feels like anything could happen?"

I remember being at my parent's house. It was late and my dad was, as normal, going to watch something laying down on the sofa 'til he sleeps. The moment I passed behind him, he change the channel and it was the first minutes of Victoria. He held the remote like 20 minutes, ready to change again as always. But he didn't. And I was stuck too. I finally watch the rest of the movie with him on the sofa. So breathtaking. Maybe one of my best silent moment with my dad. Appreciating by pure luck a masterpiece.

I actually did my thesis for film school just 2 months ago about the importance of sound in video editing. Victoria was an obvious choice. The first time I saw it, it was my dad who recommended me to see it because he knew about my interest in film studies. I was blown away by the whole film: actors, shots, editing (or not). And when I watched it again for my thesis, I was also blown away by the sound. Just a great film that I will keep on recommending.

Man, I love this channel. The stuff you talk about is actually different from the dozens of copycat film analysis channels. One of the few channels which actually talk about the craft. Thank you!

I already thought this was an incredible feat, but all the dialogue was imporvised as well?!?!
Absolutely insane. AND it's not gimmicky, it's genuinely engaging and totally emmersive.
So much so, that when I first watched it, I had no idea going in that it was a 1-shot film. It was only 15/20 minutes into it when I finally realised.
I don't think I'm exagerating when I say it might be one of the greatest feats of filmmaking ever achieved.

I played at home this movie without knowing this.
We were stuck on the sofa during the all movie, everything was fluid.
Best recognition to the cameraman that makes it possible.

I saw VICTORIA on a college campus when my friend invited me (among others) to check it out with her. I was blown away by it. As tense and exciting as it is, being a heist film shot in one take, I think it manages to be equally exciting in a romantic way because of the charisma and chemistry of its protagonists. I've only seen it the one time, but parts of it are seared into my memory, and I will never forget it!

Haven’t watched this yet but based on the technical prowess to shoot in one take in tandem with actors doing improv sounds mind blowing

I don't think the idea is crazy. People have been doing theater since the time of Ancient Greece. The "crazy" part is the team's technical ability to capture such a thing so genuinely in the medium of film and the logistical challenges of maintaining one unbroken shot. As long as you have a compelling story to tell, it's a risk that can pay off as evidenced by this film you discussed in the video.

One of the most impressive one-shot scenes I have seen comes from season 2 of the Chosen. The scene in question is so impressive because it not only was fifteen minutes long, but they had many actors moving in and out of the scene and a bunch of dialogue and the camera was moving around with the characters, and to top it all off, the scene begins during the day and the sun sets as the scene progresses so that by the end it is night. For a show that doesn't have a large budget or a massive following, it's an incredibly impressive feat of film making.

Thank you for doing a video on Victoria. I watched it on New Year’s Eve that year and was blown away, but I don’t hear many people talk about it. The one take aspect did not feel like a gimmick, but instead served the story well and helped to heighten the emotions and arc the characters go on.

I've been trying to get as many people possible to see this movie. One of the best films I've seen. Victoria 2015 💖 thanks

I remember watching this on a whim back in 2015 just because of the sheer audacity of a 2-hour one-take film, and I loved it, I bought it on DVD a little while later and you've just inspired me to finally give this film a well overdue rewatch.

The Russian Ark is easily one of the most profound films made, physically, in one entire shot. It's remarkable and worth a mention. Not as long as this film, but still great.

I just love how you intro'd this video. As soon as you said, "What if I told you...", I was like no way... then Victoria popped up and I jumped out of my chair with joy haha! Such a grossly underrated movie!

I love the sentiment you chose to end this on, "you have to do things against better advice."
More filmmakers today need to hold their ground. In an era with every popular blockbuster being greenlit via algorithm, one can tell when a creative product is one of too much compromise.
I've cried twice on both viewings of the Barbie bus stop scene. Then I learned Warner wanted it cut from the theatrical release. Gerwig came out and said it's the heart of the film and without it, she wouldn't know why she's doing the film.
That's what we need more of. Films and filmmakers who look better advice in the face and say, "Fuck off, I'm doing this."
