Interesting review. I knew some people who worked on this film, so I actually got to hear about the process all the way through.

It was actually shot something like 10 times, and from what I understand, the director ended up choosing the longest take (which actually is 100+ minutes), though some crew felt like there were better performances in some of the shorter 80-90 minute takes.

I later heard someone in the distribution chain required a shorter version, so what you saw had time cuts, but was actually just shortened from the full finished movie at 100+ minutes. Last i heard, the DVD was supposed to have both versions, but I only saw pre-release copies and didn’t realize it had actually ever made it to release.

You’re plot summary suggested to me that I had already seen this. Did you know there is an eerily similar film with the same exact plot (No continuous shot though)? They even have some incomprehensible theme about army vets that refused to leave their “base”!

By no means should you watch it either, but here’s proof that it exists: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9wN9QvB3kk

Haha, 9.2 average out of 14 total ratings. Oddly enough it has about 14 crew members….that’s weird.

I’m so glad I didn’t have to watch this.
