The Longest Takes
Tommy or Blake asked about the longest take in a film... and Marty (I think it was anyway) suggested Russian Ark, the single take (well, on the 4th try), 99 minute video by Alexander Sokurov set in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. I haven't seen this, but I will see if I can find a copy to screen. Another film that I always forget about in terms of long takes, and one I have seen, is Mike Figgis' Time Code, which clocks in at a close 97 minutes. But Time Code has the distinction of not only being done in one take, but produced in 4 simultaneous takes, presented simultaneously via a 4-split screen.
