Russian Ark (2002): a 96-minute fever dream through 300 years of Russian history, all in one unbroken Steadicam shot—covering 1.5km of the Hermitage Museum with 2,000 actors, extras, and three orchestras in sync. Four years in the making, nailed on the fourth take after tech fails doomed the first three—pure cinematic grit. One-take wizardry at its peak. Have you seen it? 💬 📸filmatic | Russia diversa
