If you’ve never seen the 2002 historical drama, The Russian Ark you’re missing out. The Russian Ark takes place in the Russian Heritage Museum but is more famous for consisting of a continuous 96-minute shot.<\/strong> Yes you read that correctly, the entire film was shot in a single continuous shot that lasted over an hour and a half.<\/p>\n

The film took over 4 years to develop<\/strong> and we are not surprised. Not only does the film feature only one-shot but the set design and choreography is amazing. The film had over 2,000 actors,<\/strong> 3 orchestras and spanned over the 33 rooms<\/strong> inside the museum.<\/p>\n
