my favorite movie of 2015:

Victoria

[German]

(Laia Costa, Frederick Lau, Franz Rogowski, Burak Yigit, André Hennicke. Directed by Sebastian Schipper.)

This whole thriller was done all in one take!

The director (Sebastian Schipper) and the lead actress (Laia Costa) talk about how they did it in this half-hour interview:

The director has a small part in another German movie on my list: the man riding a bike in Run Lola Run (my favorite of 1998).

You can stream Victoria on Kanopy or these sites. Just don’t stream it on any site that interrupts it with ads, because this is a movie where the flow of the whole experience is more important than the plot.
