I guess you are talking about the mexican film "La Tarea" ("The Task" is a literal translation) The director is Jaime Humberto Hermosillo. I havenīt seen it but i think it coinsisted on two long shots.
About the russian film i think it is "Russian Ark" by Alexander Sojurov. The film itself is a 90 minute single take made with steadycam.

This is all very frustrating! Critic Adrian Martin once told me of a
South American (Central American?) feature which is ostensibly a
continuous shot, set in an apartment, the idea being that a video-camera
has been left running when a man has an assignation there with a woman.
I know the film exists - I have watched it. Hell, I may even have it in
my video collection! It was probably screened by Australia's 'ethnic'
channel, SBS-TV, and I would have taped it then. But Adrian can't
remember the film's name, or it's director's name either, and nor can
I! (Yet the film was quite good, I hasten to add.) Please, can anyone
help?
BTW, I'm told that a recent Russian film also uses the 10-minute take.
Apologies for any cross-posting.
