can you imagine a movie made up entirely out of one or two huge long take's?

Can it be done?

Actually, there are ten cuts in rope, as back then a film reel could only hold ten minutes of film, so each reel ended on something blank that took up the entire screen so they could easily start shoot again

this movie should have won atleast 2 ocars!!

a film this amazing, and putting this much effort into making is just ridiculous and should have won Oscars.

this is Filmmaking at its best, and it would have been an Honor to have worked on this film, working as a PA would have even been a HUGE PLEASURE, or even an extra.

just truly and amazing Film.
