Has anybody had a chance to see the movie Russian Ark yet? It sounds like an amazing film. It runs 90+ minutes, goes through 33 rooms of the Hermitage Museum, and employs 867 actors. But it consists of one single uninterrupted, unedited, steadicam shot. 90+ minutes of continuous, unbroken filming in which the camera travels 4,265 feet, through 33 rooms. Quite a technical challenge, to say the least. I have included a link to the website below:
