Yes, it's a film for film geeks that I would highly recommend. The gimmick is it is all one shot and just due to that simple fact it is mind blowing. The camera continues to move and catch the action set-up to occur in different locations and for 90 some minutes with no edits actors have to hit their marks and the single camera must move in unison with them. Just imagine how maddening this would be having planned this out, timed it and some mishap occurs and you have to go back and start all over again! Beautiful film and well worth seeing but even more so for film geeks. It seems like a film that was made to impress other filmmakers but I think you'd enjoy it.
