Russian Ark is
remarkable for both the technological feat of cinematography as well as
the historical scope of the story. Filmed in a single 90-minute shot, the
film takes us through the Hermitage Museum, which meant that the film had
to be shot in a single day to avoid closing the museum for any longer.
