Review
A star rating of 4 out of 5.
Trevor Johnston
A night of clubbing in Berlin has unexpected consequences for expat Spanish girl Victoria (Laia Costa) in this German drama which, remarkably, unfolds in a single shot lasting over 130 minutes. First off, there's this boy she fancies (amiable Frederick Lau), but just a frisson develops between them. He and his mates have a job to do - a bank job, that is - and inexorably the heroine finds herself drawn in. For all the seeming gimmickry of the edit-free camerawork, which really comes into its own when screeching tyres and flying bullets enter the fray, it's actually the spontaneity of the two lead performances that draw you into director Sebastian Schipper's daringly ambitious thriller. Palpable chemistry has us caring about their fate rather than trying to work out how the film-makers did it, creating a film that doesn't plumb any great depths but offers a unique blend of modern digital technique with the gung-ho spirit of cinema's early pioneers. A captivating ride.
