The fine folks at Daily Film Dose have put us to shame with an amazing feature called, “The Greatest Long Tracking Shots In Cinema.” They’ve curated an incredible collection of uninterrupted and choreographed camera shots from famous scenes that are not disrupted by edits and sometimes last up to 8 minutes. Their list includes some eminent scenes: the opening to Robert Altman’s “The Player,“Gaspar Noé’s “Irreversible,” Marty Scorsese’ dynamic Copacabana walk-through in “Goodfellas” (to the swelling sounds of the Crystal’s “And Then He Kissed Me”) and many, many more. Below are three of our favorites. We’re highly impressed with with the work and context Daily Film Dose put into this.
Watch: “Children Of Men” (Dir. Alfonso Cuaron)
Watch: “The Passenger” (Dir. Michaelangelo Antonioni)
Watch “Week End” (Dir. Jean Luc Godard)
