I've had a movie in the top ten or so of my queue for about six months now. It's called Russian Ark:
A visually hypnotizing cinematic feat, Russian Ark is Alexsandr Sokurov's spellbinding ode to St. Petersburg's State Hermitage Museum. As the photography floats and careens through the lavish corridors of the museum, examining its architectural details while following a dreamlike plot, a cast of 867 actors supplies the action -- including The Marquis (Sergey Dreiden), an aged European who acts as the film's charismatic guide.
Every time it would get to the top two or three I would bump something up and displace it. I expect it's an artsy movie, probably slow paced, and I guess I kept feeling not in the mood for it, but I never had the heart to remove it. It finally made it to the top today and got shipped. I feel like we should have a little party in honor of its tenacity.









iirc, this is the movie that was taken all in one take?

Is this the movie all in one shot? ie, no edits? seems cool yet boring too. :)

Yeah I think that's the one... I'll report back on the boredom level :)
