Product Information
Mike Figgis's intriguing experiment, digitally photographed, is the first feature film ever to be shot entirely in one take. Four cameras were used to follow parallel stories, which converge at the film's climax. Loosely, the story concerns the casting of a feature film in an earthquake-prone Los Angeles. Working from an outline by Figgis, the assembled actors improvised their lines in order to better adapt to potential roadblocks. Rather than cut back and forth between chosen cameras, Figgis has opted to leave all four scenes running onscreen at the same time. The result is a highly original blend of art and entertainment. The DVD release includes both the theatrical version of the film (take #15) and the unrated take #1 of the film--a cinematic rough draft.Product Identifiers
