By H. Nelson Tracey for CINEMACY Amidst the vast number of movies released each year, when the truly excellent pieces come along they allow you to check yourself and all of life’s ponderings at the door, and instead fully embrace the world within the movie for the next few hours. Victoria is such a film that you enter into, and lose yourself to, the characters and the situation at hand. The first quarter of the film introduces us to the titular lead, Victoria (Laia Costa), a lone party girl at a club who inadvertently finds the company of four similarly aged men. At first she is reluctant, understandably so given the potential danger of being a single woman with this group, but soon we realize that they are harmless partiers looking for a jovial time and she is able to enjoy their company. For the remainder of the runtime we see this group go from little better than strangers into situations that will dramatically bring them together, throughout the course of one night, all over the streets of Berlin. If you’ve read anything else regarding this film, the first thing you’ll notice is also a huge selling point of this movie: the entire 140-minute film is done in a single, uninterrupted take. While the “one-r” is a favorite throughout film history, most pieces that do this (including last year’s Best Picture winner Birdman) edit multiple long shots to flow as one. This is not the case with Victoria, and the effect is dazzling. I was wary it might have come off as a gimmick, however it is anything but. In the end, I deliberately didn’t start my review focused on this because the end result is so much more than this effect. In this case it surprisingly doesn’t dominate the film: there are fantastic character developments and each major scene swiftly goes into a new location, which helps the viewer to keep track of the unfolding story and not feel ephemeral as many one-take movies do. The camera work is a major element in the film’s success, and undoubtedly elevates the movie to a new level, but enough else is going on so that the cinematography doesn’t overwhelm the experience. What really sells the film as a triumph is how the protagonists are all given range and authenticity that allows us something to root for. As the film progresses the pace quickens and situations get tense; it is because of the first half’s development that we are able to feel genuine emotion for each of these characters. There are thrillingly tense sequences, and also moments where I was laughing the way I might with a group of friends. If you do manage to see the film, you’ll know exactly when these moments happen. Sonne (Frederick Lau), the male lead, shares some intimate and beautiful moments with Victoria and delivers an impeccable performance, but is equally matched by his rowdy pal Boxer (Franz Rogowski), who looks something like a more handsome version of the Mad Max war boys, and plays the full range of his character. The success in capturing and developing these characters makes the film stand out so much. Victoria won the cinematography award at the Berlin Film Festival and recently played at the Los Angeles Film Festival this summer. So rarely does a film sweep you off your feet and play the entire emotional spectrum in the way that Victoria does. I hope that many more audiences can share this fantastic cinematic experience that I’ve just had. Last week we had the opportunity to chat exclusively with German-born director Sebastian Schipper, and the entrancing Laia Costa, who won Best Actress for her role as the title character at the German Film Awards. The interview, or shall I say, conversation, is not only lively but extremely insightful. We talk about Schipper’s “punk rock” attitude, and disregarding the film industry’s stereotype of creating “precious ideas.” You can find the interview online at www.cinemacy.com. Victoria is now playing at the Landmark Nuart with additional theatres this Friday. • 10.15.15 PUZZLE - 195 Making Impressions by Myles Mellor 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 puz 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 Across 1.
