Krigsfilmen 1917 er filmet i én lang ubrutt sekvens

En av de filmene som for alvor har fått oppmerksomhet de siste par ukene er Sam Mendes' kommende krigsdrama, 1917, som skildrer to soldaters forsøk på å advare 1600 soldater før de stormer direkte i døden. Trailerne har vært ganske flotte, men nå vet vi litt mer om filmen, og det er at den er filmet i én lang ubrutt sekvens.

I et intervju med IGN forteller Mendes og filmfotograf Doger Deakings at de ønsket å beholde intensitet og holde reisen "intakt", og dermed er filmet et enkelt "one-shot".

"I wanted to tell a story about two men in real time and I wanted to do it with no cuts, and then I wrote the script from that point. So it was baked into it. It was style and content married together right from the beginning. But having said that, one of the reasons I wanted to get this out [now] was because I didn't really want it to be in the forefront of people's minds when they saw the movie. Sort of let that piece of information settle in a little bit. I think if you're seeing it and you're watching what the camera's doing, then we failed a little bit. The scale of what Roger does, which is extreme, is to make the camera sort of invisible," sier Mendes.
