Really really good movie.
The ‘one-shot’ take of this movie is what really put it all together and made it feel realistic and made you feel like you were there.
Even though it wasn’t shot in one take, it was really clever cinematography and editing to make it feel like it was just one continuous shot.
I found it quite funny to learn that the longest scene shot was only 8 and a half minutes long.
My favourite scene was when the town was completely lit by fire and flares. It felt so beautiful.
