The movie Russian Ark is art being a film, but it is a very rare kind of movie which to me makes it a very special type of art. The entire film is shot in one scene, which makes filming the movie very difficult for a few reasons. The actors do not get any breaks since there are no cut scenes, and since the whole thing is shot in one scene, a scene cannot just be reshot like in other movies. Another interesting thing about this movie is that the entire film was shot in one day. While movies typically take months to shoot, this film was completed in only one day, which is amazing.
Another interesting part of this artwork is that the film was shot from a first person perspective, meaning that you were seeing what was happening from the narrator's perspective. I really liked how they did this, and it reminded me of the movie, Cloverfield, which is shot from the perspective of a person filming on a small camera of a monster attacking the city that he lives in. This perspective is very different from typical movies, which is why I like it. It kind of reminds me of my visual essay assignment involving seeing art from different angles.
