One of the most famous avant-garde works of all time, Michael Snow’s single tracking shot creeps across a room at a snail’s pace. But don’t mistake deliberateness for dullness; it may be the most engrossing 45 minutes of Canadian filmmaking you’re likely to see. A colleague once referred to this as “the last shot of The Shining, only stretched out to a nearly unbearable length.” He was promptly smacked.
