This movie is about a woman who has a bomb strapped around her neck with a demand for money. It is shot without cuts, in one continuous shoot. It is interesting because it gives me the feeling of being a silent observer, almost in documentary fashion with no narration.
The thought of being able to go an hour and a half shooting without making a mistake detrimental to the film is bizarre, but it does seem to make it more realistic. Perhaps it is because as Walter Murch said in his interview, we do not see life in cuts.
This type of filming works well for this because it is based on true events and seeing all of this in real time makes the viewer feel a part of it, increases the tension. This would not work for just any film, we don't always want to see every moment. In this case, however, every moment counts.
