Russian Ark - Filmed with one Continuous Shot

There are many ways to do a film. Today's movie discovery fascinates me. Russkiy kovcheg (2002) or "Russian Ark" is an ENTIRE movie, 99 minutes long filmed in one day in one shot! It was the first feature film ever to be shot in a single take, filmed using a single 90-minute Steadicam tracking shot with 2000 actors and multiple orchestras. I recomend you rent it on Net Flix instead of watching the blurry version of "Russian Ark" on Youtube.com

Here's the synopsis told by Mrs. Bass on Yahoo answers:
"Told in one fluid shot, a tale which floats like a dreamlike journey through the majestic spaces of the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, engaging real and imagined characters from Russian and European history. The nameless protagonist, a 19th-century French diplomat, guides the audience through a lost, sumptuous dream that was the Enlightenment period. The film, staged among some of the Western Art tradition's greatest masterpieces, climaxes in a pageant of color, motion, and music. For Sokurov, the Hermitage--home to generations of Romonovs and repository of so much Russian history--is the ark of the Russian soul, guarding it affectionately until the world sees better days.
