Cinematic DNA
There's that scene in Children of Men where he gets into the car and it's all one shot. It's fantastic. I went and watched it, and then I kept looking for a cut, and there isn't one. And I thought, 'Oh my God, you can do that!'
We watched The Battle of Algiers with the crew for the journalistic camera, the way Pontecorvo creates the sense of reality from a subjective point of view, but also this sort of immediate chaos.
