"Victoria" has made an extreme challenge to the expression of the film. The whole film is 140 minutes, one shot to the end, and the shooting is completed in one day, eliminating the basic post-production process of editing and synthesizing the film. Long shots are no longer a dazzling technique, but serve to create a real feeling. The 140-minute smooth continuous shot makes people forget the existence of the movie completely. The shot seems to be integrated with the protagonists. When looking at the world from their perspective, the audience seems to be immersed in the scene, participating in this sudden destiny variation. , And experienced the thrilling thrills of the whole night together

Unexpected transitions erupt again and again, until the last irreversible tragedy. The film is constantly ups and downs, and the rhythm is just right. Every time the audience's tension is just let go, they are immediately brought to a new climax and tension. Adventures, love, danger, fear, wealth, life and death, these most intense emotions in life, filled Victoria's world in just one night.
The use of music is also unique and ingenious. It abandons conventional rules, follows the mood and rhythm of the protagonist, the craziness of the partners in the nightclub, and the heavy metal music is replaced by the surreal poetic piano tunes; the thrilling and suspenseful appointment does not adopt the traditional corresponding music, the director With lens and music, a world that is paradoxical to people's imagination, an emotional world belonging to young people is created.
This crazy 140-minute long lens work is shocking, but it is not simply because of the technique itself. Under the control of amazing photography and director, the director tells such a wonderful, flesh-and-blood story about modern young people.
