    Сast and Crew

    Production

    In a long take early in the film, Locke (Nicholson) is exchanging passport photos in his hotel room, with a tape recording playing an earlier conversation between Locke and Robertson, now dead. The camera pans, without a cut, to hold on Robertson's now live appearance on the balcony, when Locke appears beside him and the two of them continue talking, i.e. an in-camera in-single-shot flashback.

    Escape from one stuffy world to a seemingly different one… but no less stuffy. Just for a moment in contact with freedom. Translated to English

    The form is thriller/detective/drama, but in essence it is pure and metaphysical. The film is boring and requires concentration. One of the best films on the theme of existential crisis of personality. Translated to English
