ONE GIRL. ONE CITY. ONE NIGHT. ONE TAKE.

After a night of dancing and drinking, Victoria (Laia Costa) leaves a club in Berlin and runs into four young men, which is the start of an intense adventure. One of few films shot in one continuous take, and it’s obvious how much hard work and preparation that lies behind it, especially considering all the location changes and where the story takes us. Unfortunately, too much time passes before anything happens and it’s hard to care about any of the thrill-seeking characters or the gangster story itself.

2015-Germany. 138 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed by Sebastian Schipper. Cinematography: Sturla Brandth Grøvlen. Cast: Laia Costa (Victoria), Frederick Lau (Sonne), Franz Rogowski (Boxer), Max Mauff, Burak Yigit, André Hennicke.

Trivia: The third take was the one used for the final version of the film.
