a thread was recently started on 'jumps in time' which evoked a question
from me: instances in film where there are no cuts or editing, as in the
scene is uninterrupted and appears to be captured in its 'true duration',
i find these to be remarkable if done well for many reasons. it seems to
be a way of rendering cinematic time elastic. i know of a few instances,
and the ones that stick out are the ones that were most jolting:
Happiness had some moments that yawned, so did Vulgar, and temporality was
one of the subjects of Decasia. i was wondering if any of you had some
more examples, aside from the list of 9 films mentioned earlier in
the 'jumps in time' thread. it doesn't have to be films comprised of one
shot, but just perhaps some moments where the visuals slowed or froze to
an almost awkward degree. thanks in advance.
take care
adam
