'Victoria' is a 2015 crime drama directed by Sebastian Schipper , the film is effective in capturing and providing a brief insight into the chaotic happenings surrounding a young Spanish women who has recently moved to Berlin, the entirety of the film being captured in one shot enhancing the intimacy and involvement the viewer has with the film. A linear chronological narrative is used as the one shot gives us a brief insight into the various characters lives , unable to use flashbacks for exposition , stereotypes are explored and experimented with as our emotions towards the individuals changes multiple times through out the film, this clever construction of the various characters causing a rapid increase of tension as the climatic point of the film ensues. The cinematography being an obvious focal point when analysing the film, a completely legitimate one shot film with no cuts meant we took an intimate stance when viewing the film , literally following our protagonist (Victoria) for close to two hours , an intense engagement with the film effective as we follow our protagonist into realistic situations we both were not expecting, the POV viewpoint we are placed in allowing us a real sense of engagement within the film.
