In One Breath — The Making of Russian Ark

In One Breath is a documentary about the making of Aleksandr Sokurov’s 2002 film Russian Ark, one of the dreamiest, most sublime movies I’ve ever experienced. The entirety of  Russian Ark unfolds in one continuous take, with not a single cut in its 99 minutes (even though there are ballroom dance scenes and orchestras and other massive set pieces). Stunning stuff.
