Film to be screened today
Date: 6.01.2016
Theatre: Woodlands
Film: German film Victoria
Synopsis:
Victoria actually is shot in one take. It tells the story of one girl`s night out clubbing that turns into a night of crime. The style of filming makes for perhaps the most immersive film experience of the year. I was greatly impressed by how such minimalistic storytelling managed to offer great character development. Laia Costa is nothing short of excellent as Victoria and she has great chemistry with her impossibly hot costar Frederick Lau.
