VICTORIA, SEAMLESS REVIEWSeamless Review of a Seamless Film -- VICTORIA, Seamlessly shot in one long take, was Viewed partially at Berlin 2015 -- then fully at Miskolc seven months later. As the film was shot in one long take with no cuts, this review will be written in one long sentence with no breaks.
"Victoria" directed by hotshot German director Sebastian Schipper was first viewed in Berlin back in february (2015) at which time I was not in the mood to watch a German film about small time hoods in the worst part of town Neukölln and gave it the ankle early but i had more patience and time on my hands in Miskolc seven months later so I watched the whole picture from beginning to end and was most pleasantly surprised this time around because it was not just the gimmick of shooting it in one continuous take that was important but rather the pace of the film the intrigue of the story and the excellent acting especially by the fresh young Spanish actress Laia Costa and the main German actor Frederick Lau who become accidental lovers in a story that has much more to it than at first meets the eye and finally grips your heartstrings at the end when this at first light hearted comedy turns into a suspenseful bank robbery followed by a desperate chase during which our German hero gets hit by a police bullet but is only wounded and escapes to a hotel room where he expires most tragically in the arms of the naïve Spanish girl who was just along for the ride but got in much deeper than she expected to which is exactly what happened to me in the audience when I realized that this is much more than a gimmick film and got so swept up in the drama that I soon forgot that this was all a single take with no editing cuts just as this review is one single sentence not stopping for punctuation breaks because who needs them anyway if the story is good enough to make breaks superfluous -- right?
