>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. Jaime Humberto Hermosillo's 1990 La Tarea / Homework. It's Mexican and available on US DVD (also quite boring and unimaginative). >BTW, I'm told that a recent Russian film also uses the 10-minute take. Probably Sokurov's Russian Ark except it doesn't use 10-minute takes but is actually a single unedited 96-minute take (welcome to the wonders of DV). ---- For past messages, visit the Screen-L Archives: http://bama.ua.edu/archives/screen-l.html
