Any other films shot like this?


Are there any other films shot in this same manner with long shots and a STATIONARY camera?

reply

Try some Ozu and Tarr. I've never seen anything by Ozu Yasujiro (sp?) but I know he just plonks his camera down on the floor and leaves it there for most if not all his films.

I've seen Werckmeister Harmonies from Bela Tarr and it's composed of very long shots. There is often quite a bit of movement though.

Not long shots necessarily, but the camera rarely moves in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Chicago Cubs 52-36 / .591!

Most certainly Ozu.
I wouldn't say Tarr has exactly the same style though. Some Romanian New Wave films like The Death of Mr. Lazarescu and 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days have this camera approach. It would most likely be named poetic-realist.

Like someone else said, Ozu is like this. His camera rarely moves, especially in his later films.

Manoel de Oliveira, a Portuguese director, has a similar style. His camera is frequently static and he rarely cuts.

Roy Andersson's work is very, very unique though. Ozu's films and de Oliveira's films are nothing like his, except for the lack of camera movement.

Try Anderssons You, The Living. Its very much like this movie but a bit more humorous, you will totally love it if you loved this one!

"Russian Ark" is an entire movie in ONE TAKE. It is very very different from Songs from the Second Floor, though.

But the camera moves the entire time.

"The Sacrifice" and some other Andrei Tarkovsky films.

Jim Jarmusch's Stranger than Paradise is shot in the same way.
