Sep 26 2007'PVC-1' Trailer Has Me Eager for 'PVC-2'
As a movie blogger, one of the complaints I hear most often concerning modern films is that they tend to be composed of numerous shots that form a larger narrative. The moment I post the new Harry Potter trailer or whatever, it's only moments before I start hearing "too many shots," "ugh, edits" or "it looks like they may have used some technique of stopping the camera and starting it again at a different place and time, bypassing unnecessary action."
Well, your cries have been answered in the form of PVC-1, a real-time Columbian film consisting of a single 81-minute shot, telling the story of a woman held captive with a bomb around her neck. In keeping America competitive in the single-shot market, the opening shot of The Player will now be edited to run back-and-forth for 82 minutes before moving on.

Columbia and Colombia are two different things.

Single-shot films have already been made, such as Russian Ark. Not saying it was good. But it has been done.

Russian Ark was more of a Documentary. This film is a drama shot in one 85 minute take over a 7 mile radius. I saw it at Cannes 2007. The film is awesome. Take away the one shot...you got phenominal acting, directing and filmaking period. A must see! I definitley want this in the states.
