vary from commercial genres to art films to extreme experimental films, but they all have a common feature, which is that their cameras use a lot of "long lenses"! Even some movies are just a shot to the end! Such movies are absolutely rare in mainstream movies, and it is no exaggeration to call them alternative.
1, "Imperial Soul" (1948)
Original name: Rope
Director: Hitchcock
Country: United States
"Recommendation" This movie is still a typical Hitchcock-style crime thriller, telling two men The whole process of covering up criminal evidence and criminal psychology after a couple commits a crime... It has only one scene: an indoor apartment; there are only three or four actors; the most important point: it opened up a precedent for "one shot to the end" in a genre. Therefore, the camera is like a moving stage before our eyes...
2, "Chest Girl" (1966)
Original name: ChelseaGirls
Director: Andy Warhol/Paul Morrisy
Country: United States
This is an "underground movie" through and through. It has no plot and no clear meaning. Even what the actors do in the scene is messy and disorganized. It feels a bit like watching Kerouac's "A Generation Across" script. And the lens used for shooting is there, at best it has a zoom. "Friday Literature" recommended these movies, and this is the only movie that we advise everyone to "be cautious".
3, "City of Sadness" (1989)
Original name: City of Sadness
Director: Hou Xiaoxian
Country/Region: Taiwan, China
"Recommended words" The film tells the story of a family before and after the "February 26 Incident" in Taiwan in a nearly documentary way . And the effect of this kind of documentary is that one is through the distance between the lens and the subject, the other is the empty lens, and the third is the long lens with a fixed position. This kind of fixed-length lens often lasts for a few minutes or even more than ten minutes, and viewers who are not used to it will probably doze off!
4, "Russian Ark" (2002)
Original name: Русскийковчег
Director: Alexander Sokolov
Country: Russia/Germany/Japan/Canada/Finland/Denmark
"Recommendation" This 100-minute movie was completed in one go , Carrying a shot on his shoulder to the end, but the scheduling and setting of the scene in the shot are rigorous and creative to the point of jaw-dropping: it replaces the rhythm created by the editing with people and objects that continuously enter and exit the frame while walking. And montage; the use of light changes to create a dreamlike dream; more importantly: it uses a person’s subjective perspective to allow the audience to browse the entire Russian art history... this ultimate shooting effect is not only right Creativity and the performance of the actors are a test. Just physical strength, the cast and crew can walk down this 90-minute long shot.
5, "Death Video" (2007)
Original name: [Rec]
Director: May Baragro/Paco Plaza
Country: Spain
"Recommendation" This is an atypical zombie film, the story is told A female reporter interviewed and photographed firefighters and was attacked by a virus-infected resident in a building... The movie starts with the photographer following the reporter into the fire brigade headquarters, until the cameraman on his shoulder is attacked and the machine falls. The battery runs out, shuts down, and starts the whole process (except for a cut off at the beginning of the movie story), one shot to the end. The sense of horror created by the film in this "pseudo documentary" form is self-evident.
6, "Frankenstein's Army" (2013)
Original name: Frankenstein’s Army
Director: Richard Raaphorst
Country: Netherlands/United States/Czech
"Recommendation" is another pseudo-documentary thriller science fiction filmed throughout. It's just that the camera here has been replaced with a home DV. The story is about the experience of several war reporters visiting the Nazi human laboratory...
7, "Outing" (2013)
Original name: Picnic
Director: Cai Mingliang
Country/Region: China Taiwan
"Recommended words" and Hou XiaoxianCompared with "City of Sadness" by Taiwanese director Cai Mingliang’s "Outing", the fixed lens is more extreme: the whole movie is composed of a dozen fixed lenses-the camera does not move, even the camera The characters are standing there still...As for what the movie wants to express, it's better to see it.
8, "Birdman" (2014)
Original name: Birdman
Director: Alessandro Gonzalez Inarito
Country: United States/Canada
"Recommendation" The film is about a Broadway stage play Director's day's work and life. It’s hard to imagine that this film with plot, dialogue, interior and exterior, fantasy, and sci-fi is actually filmed with "one mirror to the end". Its artistic, ideological, creative and fusional qualities have absolutely reached a level in film history. New height.
9, "Roadside Picnic" (2015)
Original name: Roadside Picnic
Director: Bi Gan
Country: China
"Recommendation" Bi Gan is a young Chinese director who is very keen on long shots, and we follow him accordingly. The long-shot perspective understands Guizhou, and understands those mountains that are difficult for people from the north to enter...Aside from the artistry and sociality, Bi Gan's films definitely bring a breath of freshness to Chinese films.
10, "Rome" (2018)
Original name: Rome
Director: Alfonso Cuarón
Country: Mexico/United States
"Recommendation" The great movie "Rome", the great Mexico "Roman Age", and of course the director Those great movie shooting techniques-long shots!
