Opening of "Alphaville" (1965) - as Lemmy Caution enters the hotel, rides the elevator, and walks corridors - 4 minute take.

From the wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphaville_(film)):

The opening section of the film includes an unedited sequence that depicts Caution walking into his hotel, checking in, riding an elevator and being taken through various corridors to his room. According to cinematographer Raoul Coutard, he and Godard shot this section as a continuous four-minute take. Part of this sequence shows Caution riding an elevator up to his room, which was achieved thanks to the fact that the hotel used as the location had two glass-walled elevators side by side, allowing the camera operator to ride in one lift while filming Constantine riding the other car through the glass between the two. However, as Coutard recalled, this required multiple takes, since the elevators were old and in practice they proved very difficult to synchronize.

I'd offer you up the fight scene in Atomic Blond during the escape it was like a 10 min take. I believe. {nm} albrown Jul 26, 22:05

My bad... only that short sequence - not the whole film... - But still, a great flick. {nm} ballpark_frank Jul 26, 23:26

I'm not looking for entire films bc they tend to be gimmicky, though I'm interested in Russian Ark. More of a historical look. Thanks! jonjon Jul 26, 23:36

Now... you all have piqued my interest in that film (Russian Ark)... Thanks! {nm} ballpark_frank Jul 27, 00:14

Timecode (2000)- Shot with 4 digital cameras at 4 different locations all in continuous shots {nm} milligan Jul 27, 07:33

AND there were multiple takes, all one continuous shots. The actors swapped parts in some of the takes. DTravel Jul 27, 10:35

aside from the classic showy long-takes, don't sleep on Spielberg's mastery of the oner that you rarely even notice is a oner. tons of them wow platinum Jul 27, 08:05

Prob one the classics is Hitchcock's Rope. There was also Running Time with Bruce Campbell. Both has about 8 hidden cuts {nm} Kevman66 Jul 27, 09:58
