this movie (a movie about war, not a war movie) is probably one of the best films i've ever seen (with the fountain, oldboy and a few more). it was released in 1985, directed by Elem Klimov. Visually, it is one ... no, it is THE most beautiful movie i've seen to this date. fluent and AMAZING steadycam moves with frickin' fantastic long shot (i don't know the real translation for "plan séquence"). Discover this movie ... it's far away from dolph movie's, but it's still really interesting.

According to IMDB it's a bit violent...is that true? It sounds very interesting though
By long shot, you mean continuous take? Like in movies like Children of Men or Running Time (if you've seen them...)
I admit you got my attention with the visual aspect, I think I will watch it if I can find it

Yeah a friend of mine keeps saying it's amazing...


FYI "long shot" is usually used for when you're using a long lens (or if you're shooting something with a gun from far away). "Plan sequence" doesn't have a literal translation but literate people use it in English too sometimes. "Continuous take" is a another good way to say it. "Masters shot" is another but is more specific about shooting the entire scene from a wide angle and then break it down to shoot more coverage (medium and close ups)...

Thank you Jox for these useful explanations
